Actually I saw an improvement for 03/20. 6 approvals for that day then it's back to no approvals.
Looks like approvals has slowed down further.
This is why at the end of the year there are unused visas. All due to inefficiencies of USCIS.
We are doomed.

ok now we have 300!
The problem with the EB Community/ IV members is that we think that going and talking with our lawmakers is not going to help. Or, we are under the impression that all politicians generally know everything about us and are just unwilling to do anything about it for political reasons.
The truth is that 90% of lawmakers and their staff have no clue that there are thousands backlogged and stuck in this process for a decade.
It is our job to educate, bring our issues to light and keep pressure on them to bring/cosponsor or vote for a meaningful bill that will allievate our problems.
.
Precisely, members underestimate the importance of meeting lawmakers in a large scale. When we meet members of Senate and congress all over the country, not only can we get a new Bill, but our provisions could also get attached to any other Bills once they morally support us. But it will not happen if you just send chain mail, its all about building human relations with the law maker staff and make them aware of our problems. That is why family based visas and illegals, kids (DREAM) get ahead as they have the human factor apparent.
With law makers its all about human values, empathy, compassion, etc. - like family, kids. You can forget everything about rocket science, recursion, curve fitting - it doesn't mean anything to them in terms of getting their support. It is difficult for a technical person to understand this and their point of view. It would help to get your extended family involved if you have one.
Even today skill based immigration is not even at the forefront of population growth, as their idea about general population is a bit different and has nothing to do with IQ. that is why extra effort is needed from us.
There has to be a continuous relation maintained with the immigration rep of the law maker.

Here is an interesting statistic:
Saw this in a diffrent forum. This is interesting but hardly matters to this issue. It's not the number of hours, it's the calendar date when they are going to put in that few hours of work.

For a full participation, I would recommend a red-eye on Tuesday or at least a flight after 9pm est.
Please excuse my ignorance but what is a "red-eye" ?
There is a flight leaving BWI airport by 9:15p - I guess that may be a good option?
What are the options to travel from BWI Airport to IV gathering point?

I am renewing my passport at Houston and sending it via mail. I was on F-1 originally and changed to H1-B last year. I do not have a H1-B stamp yet. What visa document or visa photocopies should I attach? Do they have to be notarized?
I have only have the new I-94 showing my H1-B status.
Thanks.
Another thing, my employer has the original approval notice I-797, I only have the I-94 part of it.

[QUOTE=tonyHK12;2057939]Well it is against the law to employ illegals and this is enforced strictly, so we can forget about tax deduction at source, SS, etc. It will be minuscule. These so called publications are from their supporters which they have numerous of.
Sure to what extent do you expect a small company to go to check if the person were legal or illegal.
I am aware of that well publicized stunt. Do you know we have only 800K farm workers and 1.5 million farm workers were granted amnesty in 1986?
The only way to get cheap labor is with short term foreign contract labor, amnesty will never work, they have to return anyway.
The farmer will stop working in the farm, the day he gets his GC. Lets not compare an educated american. A citizen with no schooling would take the job at the right wage.
Nor really true. I have disagree with you here. Labor for agri jobs was documented (and quoted) even by Bush when he was pushing for Comprehensive Immigration reform in 2007. The number 1.5 million that you quote includes families and children of those granted amnesty. Its part of keeping the family unit together.
There is no proof that the new bill will reduce costs at all! It will take many years to realize it anyway. Reform was needed but not at this moment when there were bigger issues that needed fixing in 6-12 months.
In the long run it will. The issue was that people could not afford to pay their healthcare insurance premiums. Those of us who are lucky to have high paying jobs and good employers can very look down on the folks that don't have healthcare. However, health care is now a human right declared by United Nations in Dec 1948. In the US, the largest developed nation, there are millions who cannot get healthcare (only emergency care). Even if this healthcare doesn't reduce it drastically in the short term, it will stem the rising costs eventually. That is the long term projection at least. Think about how much cheaper prescription drugs are in Canada when compared to the US.
I think that "what we are debating here is "what is better for the US". You and I can contribute to the SS and Medicare system that we are not allowed to draw from until we have greencards or become naturalized citizens. The illegals you mention are in the same boat. The point that I am making is that the anti-immigration lobby sees all immigrants in a single light. If we try to divide ourselves away from the low-skilled we are not going to get anywhere. Immigration in general touches a number issues - civil and human rights, economics, etc.. By trying to distance ourselves from any of these issues, we are in fact make it more difficult for ourselves. For the record, I do want a green card, I want a fair system. I don't believe in treating one person different from another because of their background or the kind of work they perform. (that's just to give some perspective regarding my views on the issue). Thanks for listening!

Called all of them early morning 10am eastern time
which is 7am pacific for me. No hold anywhere. All calls were
done in ten minutes.
Response from most of them was "I will pass the message".
Some took my phone number, name and current location.
Exceptions were
From office of 'Hilda Solis', staff said that congressman is already
supporting those bills.
Office of "Ciro Rodriguez" said that they respond to issues from
their constituents and encouraged me to call my representative.
Office of "Lucille Roybal-Allard" said "pass and message" and asked
if I have contacted my representative.
IV members who are the constituents of Congressman Rodriguez, please take a few minutes to call him and impress upon him of how important this is for his constituents.

^^^^ A very important day, where the house representation is expected to significantly change affecting the outcome of future bills, especially related to legal and illegal immigration.
Hope the changes today are for the better in general and will also help our situation.
It will be a fallacy to think anything will be done for legal immigrants because Republicans will take over the house. The main intent of that party is to throw Obama out after one term and so for the next 2 years any progressive legislation is highly unlikely (I am not talking about CIR. I think it is a given that CIR is not going anywhere in the near future). But, I am an optimist!
PS - My status is not updated because I am not in the GC queue yet.

No. It was changed in the middle of 2008. The DOS consulted with the Congress on this and came to the conclusion that there should be horizontal spillover before vertical. I don't want to go into whether this was right or wrong, fair or not. This is the current policy.
You can see ample evidence in the annual visa allocation once you compare 2005/2006/2007/2008 allocations. EB3-ROW and EB3-ICMP benefited till 2007 because of vertical spillover and EB2-I & EB2-C have been the beneficiaries of the horizontal spillover policy since 2008.
Thanks. I also do not want to drag us into that direction. Just for the sake of my satisfaction, may I ask to you or anybody here to put any link/doc for any memo or other USCIS doc which states this?

You were looking at a older instruction? the link you have posted is the same as what
gcformeornot posted. please clarify, the instruction states its validity so we have to use that accordingly.
It is not advised to double file, perhaps you'll get this back sooner than expected and then send it to the lockbox, dunno why they are complicating things as it is there are enough complications :-(
u bet..there are enough complications already..and the old instructions file shows up in google when I search for 765 istructions!! :(
I called USCIS and talked to a very friendly IO. He said that either nebraska center will foward my application to the correct office, or they will send it back to me. He said that I could send another application to the correct address, but then its very possible that they will cash both the checks. If I stop payment on the nebraska check, then they will send me an invoice, asking for the processing fee of $340.
He asked to call back in 30 days if i dont hear from them regarding my application. He also said that they are taking around 90 days to approve EAD renewals.
