    I was just thinking and then this came up on me . How about sending a poster along with the letter campaign. I can contribute atleast four posters. They do not have to be full size posters ..can be just A4 size pamphlets kinds. We can just print them in color printer and send them along with the letters. These posters may make it to the press also as they will be funny and spicy for news. Actually, we can send copy of our letters to press as well along with our posters. If we make about 10 such posters, we can send one random poster along with the letter.
    Something like :
    http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd4vkcmm_124c6jh9dg6&invite=mqk525
    http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd4vkcmm_127xvp53jdx&invite=cn4gjw5
    http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd4vkcmm_12895rfwtcw&invite=g7kcrzz
    http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd4vkcmm_130cvdpx4cg&invite=7bb9vs
    feel free to edit and make better.



    Bwbawa,

    Hats off for your efforts! I was about to suggest adding "We want accountability" to the posters when I saw it in the last one .. maybe these words should be in CAPS, "JUSTICE" "ACCOUNTABILITY" etc.. ?

    Good job!

    Lets now draw up a list of persons/media outlets/organizations to send them to.

    1. they have country limit for diversification. >> us(culprit) immigration is broken.
    2. substitution labor >> desi employers(culprit) sold it.
    3. my employer did not file for GC because layoffs couple of years back. >> general public are culprit. they caused our employer to get loss.
    4.other employers filed GC for other people. >> other employers are culprit. they filed GC to retain their employers.
    5.EB2 category : if they do not exist, I would have got spillover visas.
    6.EB1 employers : employers are filing in EB1 category for the same skill set as mine
    7.EB2 employers: employers are filing in EB2 for the same skill set as mine.
    8.Dollar : Seriously. Dollar is a culprit. Last year Dollar value is less. So many foreigners are able to afford dollar and they filed for investor visa. Without that I would have got spillover visas
    9.140 portability : many people are porting 140, PD from previous employer to new employer. They are able to retain old priority dates than me.
    Any others??
    How can I get GC with all these things.

    Folks, this is for your information. not for the argument.

    just kidding. :)
    How about stopping the disscussions which divides the community.

    I can understand the frustration of long wait for GC. The fight is for immigrant and non immigrant visas. Everyone(individuals like you and me), desi employers, desi MNCs, american companies wants to play by rules. The system is not fair. thats the reality.

    Well, I thought OP had a good point. Do you support substitute LC?

    Disclaimer: I'm not a beneficiary of a substituted labor certification.

    04/05/2007: USCIS Cap Files Tally as of 04/04/2007

    USCIS has just released their tally of cap filings as of 04/04/2007, Wednesday. In two days (04/02 and 04/03), they received 133,000 unique pieces of mail containing H-1B petitions, which turned out to be lower than 150,000 which they had initially reported. They reached the updated number following a physical count of the mail. Each piece of mail may contain more than one H-1B petition and it will take USCIS a substantial amount of time to open and sort through that volume of mail. It is a good news in a way that at the end, the total may turn out to be less than guestimate in the community and the rate of odds for winning in the lottery may be much more promising than the one initially anticipated in the rumors.
    As of Wednesday, total they sorted out and each type of cases identified were as follows:
    Total Sorted Out: 32,755
    General cap cases: 28,052
    U.S. Master or higher degree cases: 4,703
    The USCIS promises to update report from time time as they continue to sort out the remaining packages.
    It is surprising that the U.S. Master or higher degree cases are more or less higher than expected.


    HUM - Even if i do a liner extrapolation, there will be 19,097 US-MS in the 130,000 packets which transates that those who applied on Apri l 2 and 3 will get into the 20K US-MS quota!

    This assumes a linear sampling of US-MS petitions in the above reported USCIS sample (4703 US_MS petitions in 32775)

    Every week I take time to do some research so that I can be on top of the immigration updates, and why not?
    Attorneys have absolutely no clue about the problems and despair we are going thru. They drag heels on simple processing and documentation work, oblivious to the fact that even a single day just adds to our woes.

    I need to plan more than 6 months in advance for any major change in my life , be it marriage, having a baby, investing in property - u name it. Every single life event has a big question mark after it. Will I get the visa stamped? Will I be able to extend status? Can I do this, Can I do that? Well I guess life has an immigrant in the US (legal or illegal) has a question mark ?
    I am going thru this frustrating non-ending wait to get anywhere close to permanent residency. I had filed for labor - Then came the DOL overhaul, where labor certification decisions are rolled out in the most haphazard, and random fashion one can ever imagine. Unable to wait any longer I even quit the company that filed my LC and joined another company
    I am waiting for the new co to file a new LC under PERM - Again I need to wait as LCs can't be filed immediately for new hires - Even finding a co that can provide immigration benefits along with other personal benefits becomes a challenge.
    Now I wish my old LC never gets approved - It remains pending for a few more years - at least I can get incremental h1b extensions. (thanks to the AC21 silver lining)
    I just have another year left on my H1. I have worked for over 5 years legally, never going out of status, paying all taxes.
    My spouse even gave up the idea of working here legally. The long wait for immigration benefits is now a part of my life - All I can do is pray that our senators when going for recess while discussing immigration; get some thought into their heads abt the nightmare that legal immigrants go thru....

    This ain't nothing. Wait until the second wave of labor substituted EB3 applicants port their case from EB3 to EB2 or EB1 .Talk about a double whammy. Except a bigger hit in the next year or two when most of the porting succeeds.

    Labor substitution may be legal but it is unethical. When everything depends on when you join the queue, how can one cut the line?

    Whereas EB3 to EB2 porting is both legal and ethical. When you have a EB3 applicant that is waiting in line for 8 years, he/she had already gathered that much experience based on his long wait. Also, if you look at EB2, it is one of the highly abused category. The EB3 applicant who started in 2001 has joined the line half a decade before the one with 2006 Eb2 PD. One can't really accuse him/her for cutting the line just like one can about substitutes! If the EB3 porting case deserves merit, then I strongly support it!

    My intention is not to to start a fight. But we need to see the true picture. Without acknowledging the problem how can we fix it?
    Bottom line, GC abuses need to stop and we should fight for it as much as we fight for our rights to get GC!

    Actually we were called for interview at the local uscis, : My RD was Aug-17-2007 and the ND is Oct-15-2007. The DAO - District Adjudication Offcier gave me a heart attack saying that we are not eligible for GC as the cut-off date was 17-Aug and we were out of the window. Then I politely explained her, and then she looked at the RD and said that we would be fine. Also I called USCIS last week, and told that I filed on Aug, one rep said that they go by ND, I called again and the other rep said that "by ND". Not sure, may be uscis itself is not sure.
    Anyhow, is it advisable to take an infopass now (i.e) before september . Wouldn't it be better to visit uscis office in september, so that we could strongly say that "We are current, and could something be done about our case".
    I'm afraid that, if we go to uscis now saying that "We will be current in Sep", the uscis people might ask us come back again in Sep. And remember, we cannot have two consecutive infopass within 45 day. So what do you suggest?

    Take the info pass is the best way for your solution. Best of Luck dude.

    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 !

    To answer your query,
    Let me start by repeating myself, it is not about EB2 or EB3. We all are EB communities. We didn't design the system, neither we believe ourselves to be superior to EB3. The point is all of us need to work together and help ourselves to change the system. IF EB2 gets some advantage then ultimately it will help EB3 as well.

    It is a simple logic, when the cake gets cut it rolls down to all the people in line. If there is no cake, whats the point of arguing who is ahead in line?

    Please everyone, stop complaining about who is ahead, work together. Instead of complaining do some more constructive, involve more people. lets gather necessary means to file this lawsuit.



    Thanks

    Well said. We see the community fighting with no cake in hand

    EB2 vs EB3
    India, China Vs ROW
    US masters Vs non US deegree
    ..............
    ........

    goes on.

    i guess with more EB3 folks moving to EB2, it will help those of us who are stuck with no option to move to EB2. :)
    i think they need to make a rule where if you are stuck more than 5 years due to retrogression, all over flow visas need to be first given to those folks in the order of PD.

    I am starting to see a trend in the receipt notices.

    Some of the people reporting getting recepit notices this week (yesterday and today) have LUDs of 07/28/07. My thinking is that This week will see receipt notices for everyone with an LUD of 07/28/07

    HOPEFULLY next week will see receipt notices for 08/05/2008. This is just my observation.

    People please post your LUDs for your I-140, the service center AND how your receipt numbers start (SRC vs LIN) each time you post a receipt notice.


    NOT TURE MY LUD IS NOT UPDATED. Rcvd receipts yesterday see below.....

    ote: Checks got cashed after 2 days of Receipts.

    I-140 Approved (NSC) 11/2006
    485 -- July 2nd 11:30a.m
    Receipt rcvd -- Aug 10th (Rcvd copy of receipts Aug 13th).
    LUD Not updated.

    I have seen some one else like me had the same process. Checks got cashed after 2 days of receipts.

    Thanks

    1) We got a spike in new membership and funds
    2) We now have atleast 2 more NATIONAL publications who have taken notice of our activities and are more sympathetic to our causes. They feel we have a compelling story and they are interested in publishing about our plight...

    In fact two IV members are being interviewed today by a leading publication.

    and the most important
    3) We got additional material to provide to senators and their staff...this really helps as we do not have to establish ourselves....our stories along with newspaper articles help make our case much stronger....

    When we initially started meeting senators, their staff would ask QGA 'Immigration Voice, who or what is that?'

    Lately when we go to meet them, most of the staff have already visited our sites multiple times, know about us because of phone calls and faxes by members and ofcourse the articles that have been published....on top of this when we provide stories of members from their constituency, 50% of our work is already achieved....the liason team and QGA take over from there.

    So to answer your question, yes it helped a lot

    Can you publish more stories.... Thanks

    Dear friends and fellow members at ImmigrationVoice,

    Finally got the email today, Aug 13, 2009, from USCIS indicating that the card production has been ordered for me. No word yet about my wife's GC. Case still pending.

    Relevant data for me:

    India, EB2 - Priority date April 14, 2004
    Texas Service Center.

    Short of divulging my social security number, I will be happy to answer any and all questions about my journey so far.

    Good luck to all of you.


    Best Regards
    Fred

    NB to admins! If this is NOT the appropriate thread for this info, please let me know. I will remove this post. Right now this thread seems to have a lot of traffic and that's why I posted about my card process email here.

    Congratulations to you !!! The PD for EB2 India for Aug 2009 is "01OCT03". I am wondering how they processed your application.

    Are you sure your PD is Apr 2004 , category EB2 and chargeability is India ?
    Your PD will be current for the month of September.

    Join date Jul2009 and only 4 posts. Hope this is not a joke :)
