It's extremely difficult, if not impossible to maintain PR status in both US and Canada due to the residency requirements. Once you get your US GC the best thing to do is to abandon your Canadian PR if you intend to live in the US and make your home here. Frankly I don't see any benefit of mainatining your Canadaian PR. If you try to do that it might even jeopardize your GC. Google and you will find lots of advice on this issue. I plan to live and work here in the US.
Thanks Lasantha. Yes, I have been reading a lot on google about it. Some readers also suggested landing and come back using AVR as I have a valid HIB approval but still I am not feeling comfortable doing it. I guess I will not land there. My whole process until 485 went very smooth, I am in ROW category, and hope all goes well till approval. I am also planning to stay in US.
Damn, this whole thing is giving me headache now :confused:

i'm all for this. This is very close to my heart. I probably care more about this than i do, my 485 approval.(can't have one without the other, i know i know. But still.).
I don't know when i'll get my 485 approved, hopefully within the next year. But i'm willing to work on this, whatever it takes - contributions, lawmaker meetings, dc.
I'm in.
This has got to be simple too. When the citizenship law was first drafted, immigrants got their green cards within months of entering the country. Start to end of the greencard process took under a year, if not less.
The intention of the law was to have them learn the language, the ways of the country, and assimilate, which was expected to take about 5 years, before applying for citizenship.
These days the green card process itself take over 5 years for a lot of people. Most indians and chinese in the eb2 category, and pretty much the entire eb3 category have lived here longer than 5 years. In those 5 years they have gone to school here, paid income taxes, bought homes, and learned the language (well they had to, in order to qualify for an employment based green card!). What more "assimilation" do they need to do?
I definitely think that the following should be the criteria for eligibility to apply for citizenship,
- an approved green card
- 5 years of continuous u.s. Residence starting from the date the 485 application was received.
Let's do this.

You have consistently abused me and other members on this thread who tried to talk sense and call us really nasty names. i will not stoop to your standards of language.
You have proven by your lack of knowledge and filthy language that you do not have the common sense to have a meaningful conversation.
Hope you get the therapy you need really soon...otherwise I feel worried for the people around you who are exposed to your violent and abusive behavior.
Glad you finally realized it.
No one has doubted your effors till now
Yes, and pappu actually works actively for IV provisions and guides us, instead of complaining and making senseless NOISE like you are.
Yes and i am making a point that he is in a minority
I thought you did not believe in name-calling. Looks like you change your opinions and stance as per your convenience and frustrations.
Who started it.from now onwards you will get what you give
This is an empty claim created by you alone due to your paranoia. Its all inside your head. Again.. empty vessels make lot of noise
Now that statement that empty vessels make more noise is itself indicative of your ego and how bloated it is and how superior you feel w.r.t others
Very mature, my friend. Hope you get the good sense to stop abusing folks here and actually doing some good for the overall EB cause. Stop spreading these conspiracy theories and fears..we all have enough on our hands already. You DO NOT represent EB3 here. You are just a frustrated and embarassed person trying to hide behind your username and venting out against some hypothetical problem you have created in your head.
When will you get it into your head that no one (least of all me) is abusing folks here. I would assume that that a sane person would recognize the fact that a section of EB folks are falling through the cracks and i would certainly not expect you to even recognize this fact because you are EB2. So if a person tries to discuss about something related to EB he is frustrated and embarrassed but when IV talk to USCIS about EB backlog you are Advocating and Lobbying. Now that is the best example of Hippocratcy i ever saw. (How on the earth did you come up with that reasoning)
Please get some help. And spare us another 1000 word essay. I think we have heard enough. Find another place to get some therapy.
The person who has no more valid argument and keeps denigrating the other person who is trying to present the point of view needs some help. Just because you say so does not mean anything. You do not have any argument so you have to fall back on something ridiculous. I empathize with you and feel sorry for you.
And how many times do i have to say this a 1000 words essay is respecting your point of view you bigoted idiot. That means how ever mean and bigoted your comments are how much ever i disagree with you I am replying to your arguments point to point. Now god knows you are are a stupid bigoted person but if i am making an effort to reply to you point by point the least you can do is be civil but i am asking too much

I want to add 'Family and Relatives pressure' in addition to 'Peer Pressure'. When I visited India lasttime, I was asked by almost all the relatives if We had bought a house. It has become an indication if we are doing well (earning well). After a while, i felt little bit uneasy to say that we did not buy house while many of our cousins already did. thats family pressure.
Other than for monetary reasons, there is a small group of people, who do not buy house even if they can afford to and live in apartments
- still not decided where to settle down,
- want to move to warm place, but just not yet due to job,
- think it is lonely to live in a big house with unfamiliar neighbors.
- have small kids, takes lot of time to meet their needs after work, daycare. cannot take the burden of maintaining a big house.

Peer pressure
Lets take fictitious families R & S living in the same rented community with similar back ground. Mr and Mrs R decide to buy a home and they buy one. Mr S does not think it is right for them to do so. How ever, Mrs S pressures Mr S into doing so. Believe me this happens all the time.

Guys the Satyagraha and Anthem are good ideas and can be implemented. There is no shortage of good ideas.
The shortage is of people who will participate and do things. Less than 50 have registered so far.
Of course you understand talking face to face with lawmakers in large numbers is the best way to convey our ideas. Why are we talking about mails when the goal of this thread is to meet them ?
Agreed. Lets focus on getting people to the event. In my opinion, and with past experience, it takes a lot of rallying, babysitting, cajoling, positively motivating people constantly and consistently for people to make up their minds.
Very few people will be fully motivated and do things by themselves. We need to put in a lot of effort in making people believe they are capable, worthy and have the ability and power to change their own lives.

I would suggest you file asap on June 1st at least by June 15th. Dates are going to retrogess - this is what my lawyer told me.
You can file anytime between June 1, 2007 and June 29, 2007 (June 30 is a Saturday) assuming the dates retrogress in the July visa bulletin. I will be surprised that the dates will retrogress in a month simply because all the people filling for 485 will not be necessarily counted towards 2007 quota.
The trick is to know the number of people who are already in 485 and simply waiting for adjudication.

Yes, that's true.
it does contradict with what they said in April VB, but Ron said that his source is Oppenheimer. so I would go with what he said. remember, it was Oppenheimer who told him back in Feb or early Mar that India EB2 will have a cutoff date in April.

Fellow IV'ers,
We have done a good job since we started the 'Add ONE Member Campaign'.
In two days we were able to add 42 members. Welcome our most recent member, 'Gudavallign'!
But we can do a hell lot better.
The goal is for each of us to add ONE member by December 31st. Just ONE member. Cant we do that? I look around, and almost all my friends/family are stuck in this mess. All it takes is to talk to them and explain the great job IV is doing. I am sure you all know someone who is going through GC pain. I was easily able to join two members. All it took was 10 minutes each. I am confident of joining at least two more before the 31st.
Please dig your contacts, call/email them and explain this great effort. I request everyone who reads this post, to stop and call/email one friend (and make them a member) as an immediate priority, before even going on and reading the next post or thread on this forum.
If you are thinking it is a difficult thing to call, please use the 'Invite a Member' feature on this website. But please make the call/email NOW!
Everyone, please help add ONE member by December 31st.
Together we can make this campaign a success!
Thank you.

There is an advantage to filing through CP when USCIS is slow to process applications. According to statistics this has been the case for last 10 years with USCIS.
CP approvals are pretty fast and when you apply they do not wait till the dates to become current, NVC process the application to the point where the only thing it needs is a visa number.
For example April 1st when an applicants PD is current NVC will request a visa number for the applicant and any derivative applicants around the 10th of April (this is stadard practice). Then typically in the next 60 days (May or June in this case) schedule the interview. You get the visa after successful interview.
If you filed AOS, USCIS is supposed to pull your case and start working on it when PD become current. From what we hear they do not do this properly, they do not follow establised guildlines (FIFO). CP has a distinct advantage in this regard. Only thing is you do not get to have EAD/AP.
