Congrats to all who got greened (not the button) in the last couple of days. Based on and responses from few friends looks like TSC is approving cases left right and center.
I made a request to check on my case through local congresswoman and will take about 15 days to see whats going on. I also have a Infopass on thurs (Aug 5th) and hope to get some news (Let them touch my case atleast) then.
Based on my SR response that i got a week back, i am pre adjudicated..

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.

My guess is it will take at least a year for EB3 to move beyond 2004.
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.

Dear All,
The idea about the oath is good. Most of us do great, creative things at work and earn the appreciation of our peers and seniors. Why not we brainstorm now, come with creative ideas to help ourselves?
Let us be open all new ideas. No idea is stupid!
Personally I would think of a mass satyaghraha but not sure now many will like it. It is a peaceful and well tried Gandian method to highlight our plight
GOD bless the EB community!

I am surprised to find out that someone is still trading in the stock market. It seems CNN just reported that everyone who used to trade stocks have declared bankruptcy or were thrown in jail for running a ponzi scheme, so no one is left in the stock market. Great guys, you are still holding the fort and trading stocks to keep the hopes of humanity alive. 3 cheers for ya all!

I'm in the similar situation as indian111.
I filed for my wife's EAD in the late May (e-file TSC).
Receipt date is May 29th.
Soft LUD on June 6th
FP done on June 21st
no updates, no changes after that. there is no LUD after FP. It's been 66 days since filed. Does any one know if I can take Infopass appointement before I complete 90 days of pending status and see what's going on? Or do I have to wait until 90 days are complete? any experiences?

EFiled on 29th May and still waiting. Opened a SR yesterday and lets see what happens.
The good thing is now we are seeing some approvals, so i think everything is back moving again.

I wrote this keeping in mind to all people who bought houses by Mid 2008 or before
Based on comments I read on previous blog I have written �Pace of mind � do you have?� made me write this post on why Non GC holders buy houses in USA. I want to point out & clarify certain things on why & for what reasons people (Again NON GC Holders) buy houses. Below are some of categories of people who buy houses & here is why. I also pointed out � Why Non GC Holders DONOT want to buy houses� Read through & decide which category you belong to.
Category 1 : Equity
Though I do not have any data to prove my statistics I believe there are few percentage of people who buy houses only to gain Equity. These people do not care about quality of life style. They only want to target good neighborhoods or places which have good market Value & read market trends on house equity for several years. These are most of people who went with Adjustable interest back in housing market boom even though they could not afford. Their intention was only to gain profit from Equity & make some fast money. I sincerely believe most of them haven�t even cared for their Children�s career or interests. Their motto was �Buy a house now gain equity in few years before the adjustable rate ends & move on�. They do not want to think how this is going to affect their children�s life style as they have to move to new neighborhood & make new friends & get adjusted to life. I personally have known several of my friends who fall under this category & I also believe these are some of people who are partially responsible (I am saying partially because I believe Banks are the main culprits & not the individuals) for current economic crisis. A lot can be said about this category but it�s not worth my energy typing.
Categrory 2 : Affordability, Stability, Quality of life
My gut feeling says that atleast 80% or more non GC holders who bought houses fall into this category. These are people who are smart; make wise decisions, Calculate their risks before they buy the house. These are the people who do not just go & buy houses because they want it. They first look at their affordability; they even go to extent of calculating what if one of spouse looses Job & if they can still make payments. They calculate every expense & then they make a move. This is where down payment dilemma comes into picture for most. For some they go to extra mile in putting large chunk of their savings in as down payment, not because they are desperate of buying a house. Because they want to lead a good quality life style. At the same time they like everyone else they cannot predict that market will tumble in near future & that they may loose their down payments. Some choose to take this risk of paying huge chunk because they have other things in their mind. That�s is they are thinking of childrens career, stability in their life, good neighbourhood & also have to come to decision on what place / neighbourhood they want to call home going forward. That�s is one of the reason you see lot of family who has children & who are gonna have children very soon make this decision & also who are sure they are going to be able to find job in same city & not relocate incase of job lost. They also think of backup plans incase of immigration problems. These are people who are already here for several years & then decide that it is time. I believe these catergory people are victims of current market situation & somehow there is a notion out there the people who bought houses ( non GC holders ) are actually culprits of current housing market. I sincerely believe that these category people are not culprits but in fact victims of greedy bankers & some individuals who fall under category1. All these people were doing was trying to live a good quality life style for them & their family.Again I also believe these are the same smart group of people who have waited or on hold of buying a house since Mid2008 & later because of current crisis.
Remember the Quality of life style is the most important factor to be considered here. For some they get a good quality of life style in rented communities & for some in buying a house in good community. It very much depends on individual decision & quality of life style they choose to live & be able to take some calculated risks.
PS: I have seen lot of outrage & anger among the people (Non GC Holders) who bought houses . While I understand the reason behind it & I am really surprised that these category people who were just trying to lead a good life did not come to their defense when lot of people on forums blasting on why people buy houses without a GC?
Category 3 : Stupidity
Not many people but these people have no plans or action plans. They just go & buy because all of their friends are buying. They do not do any research or think about future consequences. They just want to go with flow. Actually the name of category says a lot. Do I need to say more?
Why NON GC holders DONOT want to buy houses ?
Category 1: Undecided & Playing safe
These are people who want to play Safe. Fair enough!! But at the same time I want to say that they should not assume that they are no more intelligent or smarter than people who bought houses. They just want to be playing safe until they make sure that they have some kind of assurances / stability in their life. In this case Green Card. I agree with all the points these categories people make but they have to realize that most the people who bought houses have passed this Category & have come to a decision because they already lost valuable time in their part of life. It�s easy to play safe when you are in 20�s but my question is for how long & at what price? Does any know when & if they will get their actually green cards? There are some who has the time & energy who can play safe but not many people has that quality time in their life to keep playing safe. Most of them are here 8 years or more & still waiting & they are already in Mid 30�s. Yes these people will certainly wait if the govt says that you will get green in so & so year. If you look back if a family who immigrated in 2000 with a 5 year old kid almost killed their children�s career because we still haven�t come to conclusion where to settle. Satyam Employees who lost/loosing a job didn�t need a GC but so many are in the verge of loosing their homes. It�s the market conditions which is leading into these discussions. I have never heard people talking about this topic when the housing market was booming.
Just as people who bought houses respect your decision, you should also respect them on decisions they make because they chose to live a life which might be different than yours but most of them put their family first when they make these decisions & not for any material benefits.
One also has to understand that the people who bought the houses were in this category for a long time before they decided to buy a house.
Category 2: Money Money Money
These people do not want to buy houses not because they cannot afford or they want to play safe. They just don�t want to spend. All they care is Saving, Saving, saving their entire life & keep filling their bank balances. Often strangely both couples are working. These are people who want to live in cheapest rent (even with double income) in single bedroom & they don�t mind children sleeping in their bed room. They don�t mind sending their children to low grade schools. They don�t mind their in-Laws or parents when they visit sleeping in living room on the floor. Their intention to come into this country is only for earning money & because they don�t have high ambitions & all they care is saving & not spending, they just think of saving in all possible ways. They call themselves rich because of bank balances but in my view they are poor than most of homeless guys who live out streets.
Category 3: Unaffordable
They simply cannot afford due to multiple reasons like single Income, financial obligations etc.

Is there any last date of doing medical if one needs to file by July31st?
If you have everything else ready, It takes roughly 2-3 days (atleast 48 hours) from your 1st doctors appointment to when you get the reports. This is the best case scenario considering your results for HIV & TB come out -ve. If you need a chest X-ray, add in another day atleast.
Also, If you filing through a lawyer, there is a significant backlog there, most of the lawyers will not file your papers the day you give it to them, considering you give your lawyer, all completed forms and not a questionairre, it will take a few days for the lawyer at the earliest to go through the papers.
I submitted my papers to the Lawyer last Monday, tentative date for filing given to me is after July4th (6-7 business days after submitting everything). They are filing on FIFO basis.

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...

I have received messages from people who have been here around 10 years without a GC. I wonder how common this is. What do you think about proposing a "fast track" for people who have been here legally for more than a certain amount of time?
totoro ..Very good initiative.
My situation is like this.
I am here in usa for the past 10 years.my I140 got denied last year and the MTR wait time is 20months. The RFE before denial was "ability to pay" . Even after producing all the documents requested by USCIS the I-140 got denied.
I started my GC process again by joining other company but Since My I140 is denied I am in the queue again from the first step the labor process, losing , sept2002 -EB2 priority date.
The get the status of MTR we need to wait for 20 months. 13 months more for me.
1.If you are able to get fast track for MTR s for I140, that is great.Justice delayed is justice denied.
2.Is there any way getting the priority date irrespective of I140 status.
3.what about automatic conversion of EB3 into EB2 if the application is at AOS is pending for 3 years.
