I think once couple of senators start rocking our issue others will start supporting too.
You are exactly right!!. It is the right time to send in letters (no emails or faxes) LETTERS to congressmen/women (just 2) for the state you live in. Also your house rep.
It is just 2 letters, guys, print them, put in a little envelope, stick a 41c stamp and mail it.

Thanks.

If EB3 ROW becomes current, do you need to have an approved I-140 to file for I-485 or Can you fill I-140/I-485 concurrently?
you can file is concurrently.

My employer says that he has lodged my PERM in July 2008. As yet there is no news and neither does he provide any information regarding the status. Is there anything I can do to find out whether the PERM has been lodged at all? What are my options?

Pl send your template so that we can write to our senators/reps etc
Well, I think every one should write in their own way, but here are few imp things i feel.
-> sympathy point first ,How long you have been waiting
-> how much +ve impact was from your contribution to this country ( employer )
-> what are you
-> how you can be helped.
here is my cry...i have x'ed to mask some personal matter.
Respected Sir,
I am taking courage to write to you after a long wait of 7-8years legally. I have been working since last 9 years for a Dallas based small company ( xxx Inc) with revenue of around $xxx a year. My skills contributed this company to stay in competition with billion dollar companies ( xxx,xxx,xxx). My wife in similar field is serving xxx ( xxx ), Fort worth.
We are highly skilled professionals from India, and have plans to contribute even more by establishing our own company and generate more income.
Since last 10 years I have been paying my taxes,ssn,medicare without fail.
Mine and my wife's Permanent residency process ( Green Card process ),EB3-India, is stuck since last 7.5years and with current pace it may take another 4years, a total of 11-12 years.
I am not sure about the relief through CIR.
During now thru CIR interim, I request you to instruct USCIS to apply the spill over of unused employment visas in the order of oldest priority date and not by the by category.
Right now, the spill over benefit is helping the applicants who applied 3years after me.
If 1) spill over order would have not changed 2years back and
2) 245(i) applicants would have not clubbed into existing quota,
my life would have been in order, and I would have not bothered you.
Please help,
I love America ( A country of Great People and Land )

Let me know if i have send any wrong inline information!

This is true. I heared the same from my attorney too. If you look at the history, there are two times they have discontinued the VB in the middle of the month. So let us hope the best and we will prepare for the worst.
I am not sure how far it is true, but this is the content of the email I got from my attorney when I pressed him to file at the earlierst.
"As soon as we have these forms back, all of the evidence for filing remaining from you, and I review the completed filing, we will file it. We appreciate your interest in filing on the first day the filing allows. We will endeavor to do that. I should point out that the current bulletin allows for filings throughout July. It is possible that the filings could be discontinued later in July. We are in touch with officials in Washington about this issue and will file your application in a timely fashion for obtaining the benefit when the filing is properly prepared."

If you guys are wondering who Ron Hira is , check his pic at the link below. Poetic Justice? Some immigrant (or someone born in a immigrant family). How ironic?

Is there any way to distinguish contributing members from non-contributing members when they post on forums ... something like adding a field to "Join date", etc. to show whether they are contributing. This will at least persuade some members to contribute out of shame...
Members, please contribute... some of you may be thinking that why contribute if we are not yet ready to file I-485... But, just think that getting the bill passed now will definitely help you in the future... I am still at my LC stage and it is currently rotting in PBEC - but I decided to contribute because I want to be in a better position when I get to 485 stage...
Please contribute.

I am in the same boat. I wish you are true. Its so frustrating to see 2006 folks getting approved (I am happy for them that at least they are getting approved but it is unfair that we are still waiting) and we are still waiting. Ridiculous....

Did you apply for your 485? Your profile does not show that it has.
The date on which your 485 is filed is the order on which the applications are processed.
your PD is only used to say whether an application is eligible for processing. Once it is eligible, it is the 485 application date that states your position in the queue.

This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

Sussie,
Your letter nor the proposed drft amendment to CSPA does not talk about the children of parents who applied their GC under employment based category and got stuck in the Labor Card approval stage for years and when labor got approved and I140 also got approved then again stuck due to Visa retrogression. We must include injustice being done to these children and should ask for retrospective amendment to CSPA to provide relief.
If you are in Illinois are you near enough to try and meet with Richard Durbin, he professes to caring about the children of illegal immigrants. Maybe he needs to put a face to a situation of the forgotten children of legal employment based adjustees to push him into realizing they even exist and he does them an injustice with his DREAM act.
I am a parent of an aged out child. It sucks, quite frankly. Never sure what to say to him when this issue is discussed. I would be happy to become more active on this issue.
How many of us are on this site, does anyone know. Each of us trying to work individually is not going to be as effective as a joint effort.

Its plain and simple.
You have described yourself already in your post and you said the word Moron.
Why it is so hard for you to understand Northern California and Southern California?
lol well maybe i am a moron
but i expected California to be listed Alphabetically between Alabama and Colorado
since it wasn't there i just assumed there is no state chapter.
i doubt i would be the only one making this assumption.
Sure its trivial...but how many people made this assumption and just gave up looking for the state chapter?
Maybe its obvious to you but its not obvious to me that i should be searching for Northern and Southern California
Why dont you do customer service for IV as a volunteer if you think IV is not responding right? How about that?.
i am contributing..and i have offered to handle some PR on here.. I don't live in DC so cannot do PR for the organisation there.

I've heard one successful case who's CSPA age was 3 days over, but eventually his lawyer helped him got the visa. I'm hoping I can get some feedback or information on more similar cases. If anyone has ever heard about a similar situation (petition filed before Sep. 11, 2001, aged-out by CSPA, but benefited from Patriot Act 45-days extension), please let me know. Thanks!
