Guys chill out...go out for a movie or something.
This is not in anyone's control.
If EB2 visa numbers get exhausted, new visa numbers will be allocated again.
I'm pretty sure within EB3 dates are also going to move forward.

Can we rope in organizations like those mentioned in the subject line for our cause?
What exactly do you mean to do? Throw in your ideas and nothing will be spared...

Thanks a lot to all members for being with us in this struggle. We have tasted our first big success this year. Credit goes to each and every IV member. We were all affected by the visa bulletin fiasco and this is our victory. This is a victory for all our members and we must rejoice.
IV had worked very hard and had been pushing for this in the background. Our flower campaign, rally and other advocacy efforts all came together and helped us at a crunch time. We thank members that sent flowers and also walked in the San Jose heat for 4 hours. All that really shows our commitment to this cause.
We are happy that our efforts are successful and IV has been able to make a difference. Please also know that during this effort, IV was extremely active and decision makers heard our voice. We cannot give out all the details but what IV members should know is that these efforts should make each one of us proud and what we can do if we have a firm resolve. We were also the first to break this news even before anyone else or media could, and continued to update our members as time passed.
IV also thanks its contributing members and it is because of their contributions we were able to continue this effort. Many thanks to the members that are contributing now after this good news.
Please continue your support for this organization and be an integral member of this ever growing community, so that this journey can continue and we can end retrogression and have immigrationvoice as our voice.
Team IV
I have been following up IV closely and quite impressed on the core team's professional handling of entire July Bulletin Fiaso. The News Updates for the last couple of days was excellent and accurate enough.
Thanks a lot to the core team !!.
Contributed $100 as my small token of appreciation. Way to go !!!
Best wishes,

No, it is not always a 2 month gap. Normally RD (on your receipt), the data entry date (you see online as "your case was received on..."), and ND should be in quick succession. It was only in July/Aug 07 when due to high volumes many cases (including mine) waited for data entry for months, as no center wanted to accept that additional responsbility. Those whose cases were entered in July/Aug 07, became ahead of those whose cases were entered in Sept and Oct 07, no matter when they filed or what their RD (as the receipt). People with PD in 2005 and 2006 who got GC last year were those lucky ones who cases were entered in the system in July, Aug (and may be some in Sept) 07. My case was entered in Oct 07, although I filed on July 2' 07. I did not get GC at that time, though my PD is May 04.
When did you get your GC?

Congress.org - News : Why Bill Gates cares about immigration (http://www.congress.org/news/2010/05/24/why_bill_gates_cares_about_immigration)
Why Bill Gates cares about immigration
Foreign workers have a stake in fight to change laws.
Activists on both sides of the immigration debate tend to focus on the millions of illegal immigrants whose fate rests on whether Congress passed a law.
But foreigners here legally also have a stake in this fight.
The U.S. issues temporary worker visas, called H-1B after their official classification, to thousands of non-residents each year. Often, they hold college degrees and have technical skills.
Microsoft and other technology companies hire many workers this way. They often have to prove they can't hire skilled U.S. citizens to fill those jobs first.
Bill Gates wrote in the Washington Post several years back that there is an employment gap that H-1B visas help fill:
This issue has reached a crisis point. Computer science employment is growing by nearly 100,000 jobs annually. But at the same time studies show that there is a dramatic decline in the number of students graduating with computer science degrees.
The United States provides 65,000 temporary H-1B visas each year to make up this shortfall -- not nearly enough to fill open technical positions.
H-1B workers, who have united under grassroots groups like Immigration Voice , want more than just an increase in visas. They want the government to streamline the rules.
Currently, the workers have to apply for green cards through their employers, often a lengthy and cumbersome process. They can't switch jobs easily and sometimes have to reapply for a visa even if they move jobs within the same company. They have to leave the country every few years before they can reapply for a visa.
The workers can also apply for a spouse to come to the U.S., but their partners are not allowed to work under the H-4 status granted to them. The activists argue that those individuals represent a skilled base of workers who could contribute to the U.S. economy and help pay for household expenses.
Powerful corporations back the H-1 B workers in their demands, since it would make it easier for them to hire skilled workers. But groups like Numbers USA argue that those companies shouldn't hire non-residents at a time when many Americans are jobless.

A well framed lawsuit forcing the USCIS to disclose how many I-485 cases are pending (approvable or not) listed by
EB category
applicant's nationality
estimated priority date
USCIS can easily generate that report without spending much effort.
Sure it will not get us the GCs sooner, but it will help us plan our lives much better, it will take lessen the uncertainty.
If we can get a group of US citizens or permanent residents or employers to file this suit it will be great . I think it will work.
It is easier to get information from someone than to get them to do something.

I certainly expected a better articulated reply than a brilliant one-liner.
Anyways, not sure why you are so hung up on the person being illegal so she deserves what she got line. You may have to step back and look at what the larger trend here is. You and I can be the next target (see slippery slope article below).
Here are the underlying reasons for the outrage apart from the basic indecency of shackling a pregnant woman:
Wonk Room � Sheriff Joe Arpaio Admits Clothing, Speech, And Conduct Help Determine If Someone Is �Illegal� (http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2009/10/08/joe-arpaio-287g/)
Wonk Room � Joe Arpaio: �Illegals� Are �All Dirty,� Should Be �Checked� Like �Fruits and Vegetables� (http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2009/10/09/joe-arpaio-gq-magazine/)
Arpaio Racial Profiling Accusations | Criteria for Determining Illegal Status? (http://www.myfoxphoenix.com/dpp/news/local/phoenix/sheriff_racial_profiling_accusations_10_20_2009)
Immigration -- Arpaio's Abuse Of Power (http://pr.thinkprogress.org/2009/11/pr20091103)
Here is why it is a slippery slope>
New Study Finds Dramatic Problems with 287(g) Immigration Program | ACLU of North Carolina (http://acluofnc.org/?q=new-study-finds-dramatic-problems-287g-immigration-program)
Increase in unsolved crimes >
http://www.goldwaterinstitute.org/Common/Img/052109%20Bolick%20Justice%20Denied.pdf
In addition to moral blindness, your visual impairment also seems to extend to the physical realm preventing you from even reading the responses to your post.
And you need to do better than just posting links to ACLU and other left leaning websites if you want to forcibly argue your point. Somebody in this forum was pointing out how the majority here seem to favor illegal immigrants. Let me point out that Apraio was elected democratically in 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008. Apparently voters in his county have a different point of view about illegal immigrants and have no problems voting him again repeatedly.

Ok, been thru this also recently.
As these days your photo comes printed in the passport unlike those old days when they used to affix the photo with gum. Hence, the new size 3.5 cm because i think they scan it and computer prints it.
To answer your question, at NY the correct size is 3.5x3.5 cm.
However, they are accepting 2x2's as well, but the downside is the computer cuts it to 3.5x3.5 cm hence showing ONLY your face without a little bit of neck or shoulder. This photo does not look good, i have seen this happen with the same guy that i mentioned in the above therad.
I took both 3.5x3.5 and 2x2, they didn't care, but i gave them 3.5x3.5 as it was stressed in the NY webpage.
Now, getting 3.5x3.5 cm photo is a PAIN. I went to PicturePeople and I had to find a really smart guy to do that job for me. At the counter, they just plainly refused to do that.
Thanks a bunch for the info. I will now go get the 3.5 cm.

:(I am planning to renew my passport from DC Indian Embassy counter.
I was looking at their website for instructions and found that the passport size photograph required is (3.5 cm X 3.5 cm). But when I printed the application form from the website, Checklist at the end of the application shows the passport photo size as (2" X 2").
I am confused as 3.5 cm does not translate into 2" in size.
Gurus, Anyone who has recently renewed their passport at Indian consulate or DC embassy please share the information on what size of photographs were attached to application.
Appreciate your time and help.

Hi there,
My wife too is in exactly the same problem. I am also looking for an answer to this. let me know if anybody went thru the 485 stage without any issues with this
I have a similar problem. In all my documents i just have one name as given name from childhood no surname or initials.
In passport given name is : XXX
And surname is : blank
In my H4 stamping they made it
Given name : FNU (First name unknow)
Last Name : XXX
So in my medical record and I-94, I-797 in US i use FNU XXX. I am planning to apply with this name itself as i feel it may take a while and is not safe to go to indain embassy and have a name change with this short time.
I plan to have my husbands name as my last name later.
Can i do it after filing for 485 or getting GC. Do reply.

ganguteli,
I completely dis agree with you. This action item is completely different. As realiseit mentioned earlier, we should take one step at a time. we have another thread revlvoing around the IV for prefiling of AOS. Please see http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=23695
If you have any innovative ideas please come forward and once we gain enough momentum then we can request entire communtiy (including who have applied for AOS) to help us with the effort.
Do not take my comment personally.
Thanks,
Is IV only for those who have filed I485?
I gave my opinion and people gave me lot of reds. There is a majority here who already have EAD and have filed I485. You people do not care for those who are less fortunate and struggling in the early stages of the process. If July 07 had not happened, all of you would be asking for I485 filing option today.
By giving reds to people who disagree you will drive people away and make IV only for those who have filed I485 and not for the entire EB immigration people.
