I just thought to give a nick name to this thread ...
AMC : Add a Member Campaign. Just bumping up this thread.. I like this idea, it will serve all of our purpose.
Add one more member....and probably each one of them will add another? It will be a bigger team of us if we can kick this idea to work ..and then I am hopeful we will be heard :-)

don't join IV just to declare your GC.
u leeched here and never contributed and now joining to tell everyone that u have GC now. Get lost.
I would not like to use such words like Leech without knowing the history of a member. It is derogatory.
I am happy that the person joined IV and maybe contributed to it. It is partly our fault that we all did not reach out to such people and convince them enough how they can be a part of the effort. Such members with few posts may be still thinking of IV just as forum for posting their case questions. They may think of IV just like any other tracker site or forum. If it is true then it is also a fault of each one of us because we have not raised the awareness enough. It does not really matter if they post 100 times or 1 time. There are some donors who have less than 10 posts but they have been silent supporters of IV as donors for a long time. Some such people have visited local lawmakers regularly and given feedback of their meetings to IV. Some volunteer their time to IV on regular basis. So its all not about money. They just do not have time to regularly visit IV. But they support the effort one way or another in behind the scenes work or contributing to it.
What I do not like are people who do not care about what we do even though they know about IV. Such people maybe having 1000 posts or no posts. They only contact IV when their own case is having problems. Whether it is EAD delays or I485 denial etc. They could be talking against IV all this time and then suddenly expect IV to devote its time and resources to help them. It is the quality of the community that defines who we are and when we come across such people it is shameful. Last year there was a very active member for several years (never contributed a penny but had 100s of posts) who became current. He used to post on approval thread like this one seeing who gets approval. When his anxiety level reached high, he sent me a PM saying he will contribute $25 to IV if IV can help as his case is current and USCIS is not taking action. Such are the incidents we come across and we really wonder if these are the highly educated folks we are fighting for. As I have said, the reason why this backlog still exists is because Immigrants stuck in the backlog are ok with it and do not care about removing it. There is no point blaming the system, if people in the system do not complain against it.

I keep seeing the term 'LUD' and 'soft LUD'. What are they? Where do you notice them?
Soft LUD - Only the date for the Last Update Date changes but the actual status and the message do not change.
Hard LUD - Not only the date changes, but both the status and message change as well.

My PERM app was denied in Nov 2006 and my lawyer filed a Request for Review. have not heard anything since then.
Does anyone know of such cases where a PERM app has been denied and how long does it take to get a decision on Request For review. Please PM me

It will be a fallacy to think anything will be done for legal immigrants because Republicans will take over the house. ....
(I am not talking about CIR. I think it is a given that CIR is not going anywhere in the near future). But, I am an optimist!
.
Well his bills were mainly an attempt to stem H1b visa abuse. Maybe there is too much overkill, but look at his point of view. What would you do if you suddenly felt 10s of 1000s were misusing the H1b visa and entering the country. We also need to talk to them more and convey our position clearly, irrespective of party.
one necessary part of getting GC relief, is to help them in avoiding abuse of work visas, which will ruin our reputation and make the visa abusers semi-illegal.
There are issues like impractical time for H1 transfer that need to be fixed. 1-2 weeks to find a job is impossible most of the time.
I also edited my first post with much better statistics and new things I learnt in this debate, which will help newbies.

kramer2005 is probably one of those folks stuck in BEC who were so happy when DOS released the July visa bulletin update. They thought it was unfair to them that we were allowed to file 485. And now that there is some hope again for us to file 485, these guys are back to discourage us from pursuing this further.
Ok, we are stopping this stupidity. Happy?
Let's all go home and do nothing.
but wait,,....... what are you doing here on this forum if you feel so strongly...

What is going to be the next step? Do we get the card or we need to wait for Approval Notice sent email and after that we get the card.
If anybody can let me know, that will be great........
GO IV GO
it doesnt matter whether you get the approval notice or not. The card is the most important thing.
The card usually takes anywhere from 3-5 days

bharat premi..what are the statistics that you are basing EB2 movement on?
those who have forgotten, EB2 India was current till the October 2005 bulletin. In 2005 there were a total of 7076 Labor certification via PERM (including EB3 other worker categories) from March 2005 till December 2005.

After reading the post on this thread, I am sure I must have fumbled something.:confused: Please read and advice
1. My wife came here (USA) on H4 visa in Dec 2005, got 1 year.
2. Applied for H1b in May 2006
3. Applied for H4 visa renewal in June 2006
4. H1B got approved Sept 25th
5. H4 got approved Oct 21th 06
6. Applied for SSN Jan 1st 2007.
7. Since SSN#, she is working
Is there any gotcha or issues that we might have created in between?
Is it a good idea to get H1b stamped from Canada?

to put numbers to your guess, I am guessing roughly even at an optimistic approach, 1000 applications from EB3-I from 2002 may have ported to eb2 or left the country and nothing more than. Why not we do these guys. just a IV sampling poll. Lets create a poll for IV members alone, for eb3-I alone. Lets give all the 12 months as option, and people can update. We can atleast know how many cases are waiting in eb3-I from IV alone for the year 2002. What say you guys? any one wants to take up the initiative? We can also Add an option additionally for 2003 cases and so forth as one option. Our goal is to find how many of us here in IV are waiting with 2002 PD for eb3-I.
EB3I dates never really crossed 2001 after the JUL 07 drama which screwed all EB3 in my opinion.
1) USCIS never looked at those cases which got ported out. So if they try to process cases in 2002 they might end up finding lesser cases needing approval than they actually counted, could be bcoz of porting or people who gave up and left the country. USCIS is auto porting the date if you have old labor and i140, I know few friends who got GC like that.
2) At this pace EB2 will be current by mid next year, once it is processing time for 485 is at least 4 months which will fall into 2012, so the same huge number of spill will come to EB3 ROW. If the spill over is too much USCIS may consider spilling it to worst retrogressed countries.
3) The as&***s who decided to change the spill to vertical might get bitten by a mad donkey or a dog and might change it back to the old model. I don't see any &&)) why all the spill has to go vertically from 2007, bcoz we irritated USICS or DOS by kissing their weak spots.
4) As per my Karma or belief model whatever IV does, hurts EB3 more. I don't think any admin fix will fix the vertical spill or recapture.
Good luck EB3 i guys and try to keep ur frustration levels to LOW.

There is a huge amount of $$ you have paid for Social Security and Medicare. You don't need to get back that:confused:??. This is just a part of the benefit...
For having SSN benefits, 10 years of service is (=40 credits) required on US soil. To take those benefits you do not have to be a US citizen. Except for some countries, SSN dept can send the SS check to anywhere if mailing address is provided to it. And Green Card by definition is for "Permanent Residency" meaning as long as you renew your GC, you can be in US during your whole life time without becoming US Citizen.

I have submitted all the documents to my laywer on 6/25 itself (including medical) but they are just heavily back logged and won't be filing my case till Jul 10. I am just frustated now. I even offered to pay extra to speed it up but no use. I am only worried if dates retrogress half way through?
To my real question.. Can we just file on our own with out the lawyer? I would hate to loose this window just coz my laywer couldn't do it. Not sure how I would break that kinda news to my wife, "I know the dates were current for 10 days in July but our lawyer didn't have time so now you will have to stay at home for 1 more year".
Hi! You are not the only one, many people like us are in the same situation as yours. However, there is nothing you can do if the dates retrogress.
Lot of people are filing 485 on their own and you can do that too, I guess. There is a seperate thread for this, please refer to that thread.

Slumdog, ANOTHER GOOD POST. just my good 2 cents to add for readers...
I posted my experience of last 9 months on your peace of mind blog, and i agree with you on all accounts (on both blogs). But what resonates from your post is, how people could/will/would/shall/should perceive and think....it is the perception of life that is becoming scarier than the life itself.
What rings my mind is, why is being happy all the time so hard? Or, is it again the perception of what should be done to be happy - anyways, below is what stuck my mind after reading yours...
Ultimately at the end and very basis we are human beings and we are allowed to commit mistakes. Each person/individual will have to decide what "mistake", "risk", "issue", "reality" is. For some its thinking through the heart and for some its thinking through the brain. If its heart then its risky and if its mind, its calculated. There are instances when both heart & mind have been right, and also where both have been wrong.
Folks, keep your head high. You have lived so far and will in the future. Dont let a right fly you away and a mistake drop you. It is hard to live a life as-is, and with aspirations dont make it harder. Dream but dont hope.
At least try to be happy, and pray for all the needy and help as much as you can.

after filing for I-485 on Jun 1. Also filing for EAD for self and 3 family members. EB3 Nov 2001. H1B stamped in visa valid till Oct 2008.
Do I need to wait for Receipt of Filing?
Cancellations charges ( USD 200 per ticket - 4 tickets) and new tickets (difference of 300 per ticket - 4 tickets) will cost a lot. Anyone else in similar situations? Anyone know something? Anything?
