Hi sweet23guyin,
We would have loved to pick the NYC ING Marathon, but it would be quite a bit of a challenge for us to coordinate Team IV participation at an event where the registration is controlled via a lottery system. We would like to get our first year successfully under our belts, and then we will certainly look into revisiting NYC's marathon.
The three events picked for 2008-2009 year are spread out across the US and they provide us with a range of distances to walk/run. I have spoken to the race directors and we are ready to coordinate registrations with them. I hope you will join us in our first year.
Best wishes,
NolaIndian

Hey GCN007, congratulations to you. We are very happy that folks with PD<01/08/05 are getting their long-awaited approvals - India or not, IV members or not. Clearly the wait is frustrating and the relief is boundless and we are happy for those who have found that relief.
But, are extreme metaphors really necessary? I don't think anyone here will be willing to chop off body parts for green cards! :) And I don't think it will give anyone receiving them as much relief/happiness.
Congrats again and thanks for your good wishes. :)
Thank you Ksrk
It was merely an expression. I am sure you guys get the point.
Hangin there. 2004 will be cleared soon. If not this month, next month.

[QUOTE=anilkumar0902;1734942]After a little bit of delay and suspense and a number of Soft LUDs...I finally received my renewal EAD today. Hurray !!! It almost feels like receiving a GC.
So, here's the deal:
E-filed for myself and my wife on 03/16
Approved on 04/09
Wife's EAD received on 04/12
Then started all the drama..
A lot of LUDs..but no card for me. The status shows approved ...one day and then Post-processing and then again back to Card-production ordered...Here and there and last week i saw a message saying .."Your new card is sent to your address on file". I must've checked my application at least 10 times before submitting...No issues with the application. But hey...All is well that ends well.
All the best to everyone else too...Always be hopeful and celebrate every good news..
Cheers[/QUOTE
That is good !
What is the duration of your EAD ? (I mean for 1 yr/2yr ?) and Is it effective from the date of approval or from the date on expiration of your current EAD ?. Hopefully, this is your last ead as GC should be on your way soon.

Very few will come here if you mention about contributions in the title.
Well, if not that, at least make it obvious that it comes from the right source. I misunderstood this thread as somebody making malicious attack at the core group and disregarded it (though it has been started by a core member). It would help if we can understand who started the post (Like we can do, when we check the india-forums for the TV shows), so that people understand the importance (This may seem as nitpicking but it does make a difference because we dont read everything).
On a second note, even after giving the correct email, i have not received a email from IV like some others have mentioned, after the introductory email after joining in the first time (It would have made me do the pledge earlier if I had gotten the email considering that many of us are infrequent loggers and have a busy travelling schedule).
Just a thought.

This is the precise reason I am staying away from IV, people just dont show any civility in the forum discussions and starts name calling or shot down the people who ask questions.
If IV comes up with just one single GOAL of reducing the curent EB backlog for the restorgressed categories, people even from RoW countries will start participating in IV campaign and support IV's advocacy efforts in terms of their donations and volunteering for IV.
Reducing the current EB backlog will help everyone.
Yes I agree we should try to avoid name calling.
But think for a moment if you had to spend 1-2 hours a day volunteering for free and no benefit to you, and people come in asking you 10-20 questions and demanding things. How would you feel?
I assure you these are just normal people. well if you find them cursing there is a genuine reason for that.
Its the job of every one including those asking questions to work, not just complain.
We don't have a paid call center or support center.
If you are getting good customer service elsewhere, its coming out of your money.

Miscommunication happens. I completely understand.

Just kidding with you ..... Jaane de
We all trust them... What I meant was if IV core said then why we increase our anxiety. I have seen many a times that the office people do not know what is going on. They are like the biased media, and utter only those words that they have been given.
Who voted, where attached... current status is far from there reach

Item 4 must be dropped. There is this major misconception about Indians being able to afford housing more than others - No! HUD shows that compared to other communities only 4% of Indian immigrants own a home.
Sometime back some other person on the forum wanted USCIS to give GCs if candidate buys a home - what a foolish idea. He thought it would help the economy. How? Buy if you can't afford and then go into foreclosure?
Rest of the points are fine except I don't think involving social security is this is going to fly! Too sensitive a topic.
Yours is misconception. How can you decide that this is only for Indians?

They didnt provide docs for the US attorney firings because Bush cited "Executive privilege" ... there is no such "privilege" in this case .... Bush hopefully had nothing to do with the DOS/USCIS screwup :)
No executive privilege in this case as it involves the Departments and not the Executive office of the President/Vice President. Only partial communication that happen between EO and agencies can be claimed as executive privilege (still, congress can challenge that in the Courts).

It is very clear that USCIS is yet to complete the receipt of all I-485 applications and are not in a position to give any statistics to DOL. I think then they will be busy in issuing AP / EAD based on the receipt. Considering the current work load, I think it will take at least couple of months for the USCIS to give any reasonable estimate to DOL regarding the actual demand. Till that time, I think DOL will be forced to publish the same status every month. :(
I wish USCIS can use the people worked in Backlog Elimination centers to issue EAD / AP and clear I-485 receipts and provide some meaningful figures to DOL. [I hope they do not create another July bulletin fiasco :D]
One small correction,it is DOS instead of DOL.

I respect your thoughts and to some extent I personally share them. The primary benefit of citizenship for me and I believe for many others posting on this thread would be to bring our aging parents to this country and to be able to live with them.
This is the most insane reason i can think of.GC itself is a distant dream leave alone citizenship...and Aging parents...do you really know if they want to reside in this country here permenantly.3-4 months are over and they just want to escape from here coz they just dont like.And some mean children bring their parents to do nursery/take care of their children as free home nannies with paid airfare,boarding and lodging with food.

D. EMPLOYMENT VISA AVAILABILITY IN THE COMING MONTHS
There has been no forward movement of the Employment cut-off dates for November. The reason for this is that it is still too early to see what impact the movement of the cut-off dates toward the end of FY-2007 may have on demand. Depending on the rate of demand being received from Citizenship and Immigration Services offices for adjustment of status cases, some forward movement of dates may be possible for December.

I read that there are 2800 EB3-I visas a year, or about 233 visas per month. Assuming there are about 700 numbers available for the rest of the year 2010, using the data in the latest May-2010 I485 inventory, the calculation is pretty straight n easy with no spillover calculations involved ... here is a possible progress of the PD:
Sep-2010 : 10-Dec-2001
Sep-2011 : 31-May-2002
Sep-2012 : 15-Sep-2002
Sep-2013 : 01-Jan-2003
Sep-2014 : 01-Apr-2003
From there on the numbers are huge per month - about thousand pending 485 per month ... it'll continue at less than snail pace :D
http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/5790/india485pending.jpg
USCIS proved my progress prediction as wrong ... Per Aug-10 visa bulletin, the dates already moved to 01-JAN-02 whereas I was guessing that by Sep-10 it'll move to 10-Dec-2001.
Guess they'll just move it forward just to attempt to use up all available numbers. Neverthless it's positive for many who have been waiting. But it just makes the future predictions tougher. Lets wait for Sep-10 visa bulletin and then do another round of predictions after the I485 inventory is released.
Sep-2010 : 10-Dec-2001
Sep-2011 : 31-May-2002

My wife and I went for the medical examination 1.5 years ago, when we thought we'll be eligible to file shortly. We still have those sealed envelopes. However, the time passed and I understand we need to undergo the exam again for our June filing, correct?
The first time around my wife had a positive skin test (immunized in childhood) and negative Xray. Back then she was advised to never do the skin test again, as it'll always be positive. So, she'll need to go for an Xray this time. However, she is pregnant, and they don't Xray pregnant women... Is she an exempt then? There gotta be a provision for something like this, right?
Thanks.

- You can add immigrationvoice.org link and a short message to any email with jokes, cartoons etc you forward. Talk about this serious stuff and then say, ... now some humor. This will ensure that the message of Immigrationvoice goes far and wide.
- Make lot of photocopies of IV flyers from the http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=36
volunteer section and keep in your car. Whenever you go to a mall, railway station, store or temple etc and see any South Asian, Asian, etc nationality people (since such nationalities are mostly affected by retrogresssion) hand over a copy each to them. Tell them breifly about IV. This technique has worked very well in spreading the message.
- use the invite a friend email tool. http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_iv_invite_friends&Itemid=55
- Add Immigrationvoice.org link in the signature of your personal email. So every email you write will have this link.
Thanks Pappu. These are terrific suggestions, I am going to implement these simple and effective techniques.
