Here is the reality: The thread is 2 years old and we have not had a group of motivated folks who could commit both time and money for this. In the last 2 years thousands have read this thread and have got greencard, but after getting greencard most people have different priorities in life. Writing posts on the forum asking IV to work on it will not get anything done on this issue. Nobody else will do anything unless those who seriously want to work on it commit their time and money for it.
They need to be going to fund raisers of lawmakers and contributing to election campaigns etc as a first step to lobbying. We need to see IV green card and citizen members doing this more regularly anyways to help others in line behind them and get more politically active.
Few things for GC holders to know:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Can non-US citizens contribute?
Foreign nationals are prohibited from making any contributions or expenditures in connection with any election in the U.S. Please note, however, that "green card" holders (i.e., individuals lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the U.S.) are not considered foreign nationals and, as a result, may contribute. For additional information, consult our "Foreign Nationals" brochure.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here is how people can organize this effort:
If some green card holders seriously want to work on this issue, the first thing they need to do is form a team. Commit for a long term effort. This is not going to be an effort for a few month or days but will take several years. After you form a team, the next task would be gather as many people as you can who want to work on this issue and wish to meet lawmakers. You will also need start-up money to work on this effort. This effort is not as simple as fixing green card backlogs. If we are thinking working on this effort will be as simple as writing emails, then it will not be worth spending time. Be prepared to personally go and meet lawmakers in both your area and DC every couple of months. IV core team has been making trips to DC every month for past 4 years and only then we have been able to bring our issue in focus.
Citizenship rule change would change the INA and would require lot of support from H1B community, Greencard holders and citizens. It would require lot of funds too. Be ready to contribute your own funds (not hundreds but more than that to start) to run advocacy tasks. IV site is just a platform with a web-forum, but the real work that costs money is daily advocacy operations. Running is site is not expensive. Once the effort gains momentum, you can raise from IV forums from other Greencard members as a separate pool just like we did for FOIA.
At this time IV does not have the bandwidth or resources to work on this issue. Our primary focus is fixing greencard backlogs so that our members are out of the Greencard Queue. We started this organization for this purpose and we wish to finish what we started before we take on any new effort. Even though some core team members have Greencards, we are all committed to work on Greencard backlogs and will not work on other agenda items in our limited time. It will have to be a parallel team within IV that can work on this issue. IV team can guide as needed but we simply cannot divide our limited time and resources on a new effort.

I didn't miss a zero. USCIS gets 456,000 apps per year. They can give 521,000. Which means they have extra 65,000 per year. So to clear 600,000 at the rate of 65,000 per year is about 9.2 years.
This is not a discussion for this, but your argument is not clear. If USCIS gets 456,000 apps per year, and they can clear $521,000 per year (more than what they get), where is the question of 10 year wait? New applications don't get cleared first, they are put at the back (of course with a lot of inefficiency, and irregualrities). Wait is due to uneven distribution of apps/countries.

Thanks for the post, i am interested too, i am not a pattern day trader but a normal trader as of now.
Could you please post how this has affected your tax return filings, do we need to do something extra while filing tax returns if one is a pattern day trader?
Also it suggest that there should be minimum equity balance of 25K, are they referring to the value of stocks...
Yes as you said i too was thinking about it, there is only so much one can earn because in my situation i cannot shift employer, nor does the current one pay me enough or is willing too, so we all must look at alternate sources of income (but take our own risk and decision)....
I started trading with sharebuilder recently.... and they did give me a 50$ coupon to start with...
As pappu said, yes we need to share such info with our fellow folks so that everyone gets benefitted and if we make money we can contribute atleast a small part of it to IV.... (win-win for all).
There is so much information to share....
If you have account in BOA with 25K, you can do 30 trading per month for free. Also I have some good tips for long terms investors like people who are planning to settle here. The plan is to buy the stocks from companies directly and reinvest the dividend. When you are not paying the commission and investing the dividend, you can get very good return in the long run.
If any one interested please let me know...

Here is the most up-to-date list of people who have reported their issues with the audit delays:
http://www.mediafire.com/?a3znd69ymyz
I think its about time that we start brain storming the plan of action, I did like the idea of rally but that had its own Pros and Cons. We need more ideas coming from the people...
I was thinking that we could draft a letter of request to DoL and have all the members sign on it to reflect the massiveness of the issue that Management needs to know - this is becoming a major issue in the EB immigration process. We could then write up a follow-up article for newspaper or even provide a copy of that signed letter to them. Any input to this?
I have requested IV Admins to provide some input as well, but if you have any ideas please speak up!
Here is what one of the IV administrators communicated to me:
"In order for anything to be successful, it is important that we get as many people affected involved. Based on the number of people who wish to take part in solving the issue we can initiate a campaign.
Pls let everyone know that IV can help them. We need everyone affected willing to help themselves by coming out and actively participating in a campaign."
So please, dont disperse or lose hope, we need to gather more people to support the campaign, once started.
Admins: I am unable to add the files as an attachment, even after making sure that the file size is under the limit. Am I missing something?
Whats your contact number. Please send me a pvt msg. thanks

Just checked USCIS.gov. Both mine and my wife's I-485 were approved.
"On May 5, 2011, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283."
Thanks IV for all the support.
Will continue to support in all it's endeavours.
CONGRATS My friend. Really feeling happy to see the approvals.

Reverting back to the original interpretation for allocating unused visa from other category and to oversubscribed country from the current new interpretation seems to be the only possible quick relief to EB3, though EB2 gets affected it is not going to be that severe.
**** Not sure, what is core IV's stand on this. Have not seen any update from core with regards to this ***
If we can approach the USCIS /DOS for Admin fix in this area, this should be possible, given that IV already has some success in the Admin Fix area. But seeing the lack of response from core IV for this particular thread (Overall they do a good job) regarding spill over, visa allocation, makes me this, core IV is not thinking there is an error with the new interpretation or IV was one of the main source that was instrumental for this change. The new spillover helps only India (EB2) looking at the number of pending cases from China and ROW. China hardly has less than 1000 cases prior to Mar '05 PD for EB2.
I'm not sure what happened to fellow EB3 ROW members... These folks at least will be current soon.. and India / China cutoff date will move the later PD very soon.
Comment plz... I would like to see what ROW member thinks... along with folks from oversubscribed countries
The title of the thread is misleading.
IV is already helping. The aim of IV is to eliminate retrogression so that everyone does not have to wait. We also understand that EB3 I is in a much greater mess than anyone else.
Good to see a response from Pappu. I genuinely understand IV is working for a relief for the entire EB Community and not biased for a specific category or to people from a specific country. But would it not be justified, If IV also address any specific issue that is causing severely pain to a specific groups of people and affects them negatively , along side with the core goals IV is working on.
Does IV think that changes made to the interpretation to the VISA allocation a good change and does IV also share the concern of few folks posting in this thread.
I think the lack of more active participation from EB3 members is due to the fact, is lack of confidence anything is going to change.
I do know, couple colleagues, who were not able to file 485 during July fiasco due to their labor approval after July '07 and missed filing 485 with PD's 03 /04 all in EB3 and I do feel for people like them as well.
Give the political climate / economic climate, anything through congress seems like it will at least couple years, admin fix might provide some benefits to folks really waiting with PD 01 / 03 at least.... Just my 2 cents.
Having said this, I do support IV's effort now and will do in future as well.

radhagd, thank you for the information.
Couple of questions to all gurus:
Is there any time limit to say birth certificate is recent? I got my birth certificate in Jan'07, trying to see if i need to sumit the affidavits?
Also do we need to have copies of all I-94 cards since the first time we entered US? Looks like i don't have the I-94 copy which was issued when i entered in 1999 for the first time. In that case what would be the solution?
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
I am not an expert, but as far as I understood it's not the question when the birth certificate is issued, it's when your birth is registered. If the registration date in the birth certificate is a recent date then you need to submit the affidavit.
You need the most recent I-94 card. All the previous cards are not necessary

1) Fast-track GC process for Masters degree holders from US universities. This will be the least controversial, boost admissions (and money) flowing into universities, and clear up backlog in regular GC queue. Its a win-win and most senators, congressmen have voiced support for it already. We can get very good support from University lobbyists also (if they exist!!).
If this process removes those with US Masters from the existing queue and puts them in a queue with no visa number limit, this is an excellent proposal. This might even eliminate the entire backlog.

If you are saying that EB3 would move from 2001 to 2004 this year, then that is what BharatPremi and I were saying. We should be OK with 3 years movement for EB3.
And, guys don't jump on me, if we accept that 3-4 years for GC is acceptable (though I agree that GC in 6 months would be the vision, dream...), then guys who have filed in 2004 should be patient till 2008 and guys who filed in 2006 should wait till 2010.
The only guys who should worry is those with PDs 2001 and 2002. Again, most of them got cleared in Jun, July this year except those who are stuck in name check and LC in BEC.
Well, I was saying "at least". So if goes for 2 years to clear pre-PERM backlogs, I would not be surprised. ;)

I took infopass this Monday at the local Chicago office. The guy basically said he cannot do anything...also said they cannot do anything even if I don't receive the card after 90 days. I then had an SR filed yesterday afternoon by calling NCSC...in this case the guy was nice and he even included my wife's EAD app info on the SR.
EAD e-filed: May 27th

First card production ordered email: June 28th
Second card production ordered email: July 29th
I took infopass appoinment for August 1st.

Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later."
Do you know what does it mean?:confused:
It means that your wife is approved as well...but don't know why different languages and text for both of you. But nothing to worry about it...

It looks like most people want to believe just what is good for them. I have yet to see the document that says "It is illegal to issue interim visa bulletins or stop accepting applications mid month".
Don't kill the messenger.
Be concerned and be VERY CONCERNED. Being in denial will not help. Work with the assumption that the dates might go back any time. If your conditions does not permit you to file in the first week there is not much you can do. Tough luck if the dates go back. But if there are things you can do , please do...
I will give you an example, It is very difficult to get medical appointments where I live and the first opportunity was July last week. I traveled 120 miles (not much) and got mine done last week, where as a friend of mine did not want travel and took the local appointment for Jul 3rd week assuming he can file by Jul31. With the change in dynamics he has to revise the plans and may not get the appointment 120 miles away.
I mean to say, work with the goal to apply ASAP.
Good post . ANy thing can happen and you got a chance after 2 years to file your 485 ..Do what ever you can and file.You may hardly loose 1 grand if you pay premium for all services
Don't kill the messenger.
Be concerned and be VERY CONCERNED. Being in denial will not help. Work with the assumption that the dates might go back any time. If your conditions does not permit you to file in the first week there is not much you can do. Tough luck if the dates go back. But if there are things you can do , please do...
I will give you an example, It is very difficult to get medical appointments where I live and the first opportunity was July last week. I traveled 120 miles (not much) and got mine done last week, where as a friend of mine did not want travel and took the local appointment for Jul 3rd week assuming he can file by Jul31. With the change in dynamics he has to revise the plans and may not get the appointment 120 miles away.
I mean to say, work with the goal to apply ASAP.

This sucks.. I always thought it was those 245(i) illegals are clogging up EB3. Not sure what else is constipating the system so it barely gets past Nov 2001.
