Perhaps can you start studying bulletins from January 1999 once again please? And I would request you to gather up "major events", "Major law/system related changes" from year 2001 to 2006. Perhaps, yes then you and I will be on the same board.
I agree with BharatPremi, by and large.
Let me put it in a different way. Let us assume that DOS will end up using 90% of the VISA numbers during FY2008 (which means they will waste 10% which is an acceptable estimate). And to use these 90% numbers, they have to move the dates forward. As simple as that.
And all 2005 PD cases and most 2004 cases and few (or most) 2003 cases filed 485 between Jun-Aug 2007 which means those applications are not ready for approval yet and hence will not be a cause for retrogression.
Dates will and has to move forward this year. It may retrogress again once these 485 applications are processed and become ready for approval (consuming VISA numbers).

Great to know about your effort. Thanks a lot. Greatly apprecite if you could consider my request too...!!!
Dependent should be removed from the cap or the primary applicant should be able to bring the dependet to US with some kind of visa while the primary applicant is using EAD/GC(its ok if this visa does not allow the dependent to work in US untill the PD becomes current and his/her 485 is filed)
At present there are many singles/married who are not switching to EAD in order not to jeoperdize the spouse H4 visa.
Thanks again for your effort..good luck...!!!!

ok i managed to find it...but its not easy to find...the average person visiting this site will never know about it. This is a cool benefit...it should be advertised on the site more so people can take advantage. It will certainly generate more interest in IV
May be should make it as sticky on the front page.

When my lawyer applied for my H1B extension she forgot to apply for my wife's H4 extension (Form I 539). Now after about year and half when we are preparing to file for our 485 status adjustment we she found out that she forgot to apply for that. So she is now filing the Form I 539 with an explaination. So that means my wife has been out of status for almost more than a year now unknowingly. How much of a chance does she have to have her form I 539 approved now? Any response would be very much appreciated.
Thank You

It seems some people already coverted\or in the process of coverting from Eb3 to Eb2. Even I did that recently.
Regards,
Alex
This process was already done by many in later part of 2005, entire 2006 and in early part of 2007. We do not know how many got out from the 485 Que in 2007. Many of those might have filed 485 recently in the july fiasco. The impact of these conversion will be felt only after 5 to 6 months or even after an year.

Remember Lame duck session. Now imagine having twice as many members, double the number of phone calls and faxes and emails. Double the activity and contributions.
We do have to make sure that next time (read: Jan 2007) We go with a bigger organisation. What is the use of talking strategy or doing things with the same number of people.
Leave the strategy to the core team, Please help out with adding members.
Does the IV core team plan on sharing their strategy for the New Year with the new members?

I will back you up on this:)
Unless one has studied in the US, one will not realize the worth of the US educational system. One clear attribute of US educated professionals is their superior written and verbal communication skills. Not to mention the enhanced ability to culturally fit in a diverse environment.
Unintentional, might be, but you did ruffle this topic of US Master's vs US Non-Master's with this rather sad comment (warm spit!). I dont want to go much further into this either but talking about something that you obviously dont know (useless subjects 'assembly language programming'), you havent added any valule addition here either. (Just FYI, even during peak recession, ppl with ALP skills were really very few because most of the direct recruits from '6 month NIIT courses' werent upto system level programming).
And btw, if think that a 6 month course in NIIT with a degree in tier 3 university is going to help get a job during times of recession, then i dont know what to tell you.
Yes, i do have an MS degree from the US and i did suffer lay-off during recession - bounce back, i did really quickly while i saw few ppl that only had '6 month courses from NIIT' suffer for long times without a job because all they had to offer was that...their six month experience at NIIT!!
Btw, i do appreciate all the work that you do and all your postings too, but i felt that i had to give a riposte to something that i find insinuating and written without a whole lot of thought....

On a related note, free riders may not be checking this forum. The title says that this is of no interest to them.
I agree, titles like "H4 to H1", "Changing Employers", "Urgent question" etc. etc. will obviously be visited more.
May be a gentle reminder about contributions in other topics would help.
How sad it is that we don't get support from our own.

I think BPC and new case PERM is same, if it is same position then employer has to withdraw the first case as of DOL new FAQ, if it different position then shouldn't have to withdraw the case, possibly audited by the DOL as of above explained rule..... If the case is audited how long it usually take DOL to decide,
For 2nd Case should we file by mail, providing certain reason with the application?

Since people would be filing taxes early next year, and most expect some returns from Uncle Sam, how about starting a thread to pledge $ 200 from tax returns?
Also, someone had once suggested IV set up a mechanism via Pay Pal to make auto deduction of say $ 20-25 every month. That should get it more continuing contributions and help even out IV's cash flow.
That is a nice thought.
But I realized after watching from the sidelines for over six months now, is that, it is easier to achieve smaller goals. Basically, I mean, request donations, but without specifying the amount. And in good conscience, if they can donate $50 that is some contribution than none (numbers like $200.00 etc. might drive interested people away). There is a chance for second and third contributions, as and when they see positive developments because of IV efforts (I know that it is advantageous for IV if there is one large payment, rather than many small payments, but at this point, I am more interested in ONE SMALL PAYMENT).
Pineapple, please help add ONE member!
Everyone, please add ONE member before December 31st.
I am sure we can achive this very easy goal!

My I140 is approved and now I am filing the I 485/765/131 together based on new developments. Now that all dates are current, are they going to process the application based on July filing date or based on Priority date(labor).
Can please someone confirm that. My attorney says its based on priority date but I just called USCIS information desk and they said that its based on 485 application date.
Thank you

Going back to the original subject of discussion - before the thread got hijacked by plainspeak and some really divisive and dangerous viewpoints - I just wanted to say I completely agree with Goodintentions and the post below. Thanks for the observations - certainly helps newer members who are getting used to the idea of meeting congressional offices. This bill helps all EB and we should be all for it and any other piecemeal bills coming up in the new Congress
I agree with the contents of the post. Personally, I have been writing letters regularly to the Congressman, the Senators of my State and also to the President. In most cases I have received responses.
Many of you may not find my observations interesting or you have also come across something similar. This is however for those of our friends who are yet to write to law makers!
Following are some of the obesravtions which I would like to share:
1. Letters posted (not emails) seem to be read and replied. (Ofcourse, most of us are now so much used to email that it is difficult to print and post, but I still think it is worth the effort)
2. Unless the subject line refers to a "specific bill no." the answers are very generic. In fact many such responses are not relevant at all
3. Whenever the letters have been to the point and within ONE PAGE, they seem to draw attention.
4. I have tried to meet my Congressman for about 2 years, but in vain. However, over a period of time I have been able to develop some friendship with his immigration assistant. They are the people who prepare notes and present it to the Congressman
5. Recently I got a response from one of the Senators on the S1085 bill. He is a Democrat and has stated that he is supportive of the bill and that it is currentlyundergoing "judicial review by the Senate". I really do not know what it means, though!
5. Regarding CIR I got a clear letter from Mr McCain stating that unless the "borders are secure and sealed" CIR does not make any sense. I have once again written to Sen McCain that we are legal immigrants and would like to seek his support as well as thatof all Senators and Congressmen, from both parties. I am yet to get a response. Once I get a response I will share it with all of you
6. I am no writing a 2 separate letters (one about the new bill about passing on Lottery Visas to EB) and also another about the fate of of HR 5882. I would also be writing the Congressman who has sponsored this "Lottery Visa" about the HR5882.
The task is uphill and very difficult. We have no option but to try the beaten track. Many of us are here for more than a decade and the end is never so near. Time does not wait and we cannot board a time machine to get back in time! I am one such person who left UK and came here! Had I continued there I would have become a citizen 2 years back!
Perhaps we can try the Gandian method of "mass satyagraha" which is a very peaceful means, to highlight our situation. We can do it in summer, may be in June / July and start working in this direction. Not sure how many will scoff at me, but perhaps it is worth the try.
GOD BLESS all our friends who have been patiently waiting for ages!
Best wishes!

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.
