You have to be kidding! Here people are crying to get there EAD's extended and you think the Govt will give us citizenship???
Please i suggest everyone to wake up and smell the coffee/chai.
If you think giving us citizenship will be easy becoz it will prop up their vote bank think again coz it will never happen. Imagine the headlines which says recession time 10M americans out of job, foreign workers to get citizenship LMAO!
Forget this ever happening in a recession time and not much of a chance in the boom time either, see how the Anti-Immi's will eat everyone up for this ridiculous suggestion, please remember we're nothing in the larger scheme of things for the decision making people, we need to understand our limitation and strengths and play by them, IV does a decent job of that.
Do think rationally before coming up with ridiculous ideas like giving senators free pizza or asking for-direct citizenship. lol.
I strongly support this thread and the message. Lets make an action plan how to pursue this.
Devils_Advocate: I know your type. But you must also understand that unless the line in front of you is cleared, you and I will go down the drain. You are talking about EAD. I dont even have that, yet I support this.
Your thinking appears narrow minded. Wake up.

Why we cannot have a EFax facility on this site so that people can send fax to senators.
Sometimes People find Efaxing easier than calling
(especially passive viewers of this site)
Called all but nine of congressmen. Will try to call all of them before 5:00pm eastern

No, I just don't want people in Eb3 line to come as stand in front of me.
As a US Educated Master and originally EB2 filer. I think this is one of the most stupid action ever within the EB community. So you think we are not weak enough and want to divide us more?

pro-bono -> To work for the good of the public rather than for a profit or income.
Looking forward to the coming year, our goals for outreach expand to certain pro-bono cases and lobbying for improvements in laws and procedures to benefit our clients and U.S. businesses that are suffering as long as caps and retrogression remain as they are. We will continue to fight for you and your causes in 2006 and beyond. We will further strengthen our fight for better pro-immigration laws. We at the Murthy Law Firm will work to persuade the USCIS to issue opinions and letters that better address the business realities, requiring faster decisions and interpretations to help the business community and unite families - all for a better America!

Sometimes I wonder how these bozos get elected to office. These congressmen who misread the law, how can they get away with making such false statements over mainstream national media ? What is particularly appalling is , why haven't we heard any outbursts from media or other government quarters challenging his statements. What a mess...
We should not let go of this.
Being a congressman he should not misuse his first amendment to utter false statements.
Dear congressman...i pity your lack of knowledge on H1B program and USCIS policies... We can help you understand better....Please do not make a fool out of your self.... I hope people do not look at you as a moron...and we wish you all the best in your political career.

I think the developments are great!!! USCIS secretary Emilio Gonzalez posting a message on the USCIS web site - this is GREAT NEWS!!! What we're doing is being acknolwedged!! It's a sign that this is working, and those up there are forced to take notice and act on it....
It may have sounded ridiculous initially, but GANDHIGIRI seems to be working even in our case!! Some times you have to think unconventionally, out of the box (to use a much abused and cliched term), innovatively, to get the kind of results you want.
Nobody thought sending flowers would change the hearts of USCIS/Dept of State.... and they would somehow agree to accept our AOS applications...
The fact is, this development means we're getting the deserved attention, imho. Can that can be anything but good news... ?
Kudos to whoever thought of this.... lage raho munnabhai... :)

Hi Gurus,
I need some help with my situation:
After 5 years of waiting, my Labor got finally aproved thru Dallas BEC(EB3, RIR, PD: Oct'02). But my wife is in India on vacation and as per original plan will return middle of August.
1. What are my options so I can take advantage of the PD being current for me?
2. can I apply for I-140 and I-485 and then apply her I-485 when she returns?
Thanks.

First let me state that I need people like you to proceed and hence I will be happy to answer the points you rasied to the best of my ability:
We all agree that there is severe backlog. Only way the backlog will alleviate is by increasing visa numbers, which not going to happen any time sooner.
So some people (and I know around 10 of them) what they are doing is the following:
They got the chance to file their 485 last July , which is pending. They are now contacting several small desi consulting firms to file for their fresh labor in EB2 category. Once their labor is filled and new I-140 is approved, they plan to attach new I-140 to the original 485 and hence effectively convering to Eb2 category but with priority dates in 2002 and 2003 (because original I-140 had that priority). Worst, they would never join that desi consulting firm...
This how the system is being gamed. If I know 10 such cases, I am sure there must be thousand like that.Now you tell me , isn't that unfair to the people already in Eb2 line as well as the ones who do not know how to game the system
By the way: If any one is interested, I know of three such consulting firms that can do for you for a fee.
First: I appreciate that you have not lost your cool yet despite all the opposition and rude posts against you. Rollingflood on the other hand does not share those qualities with you well. We will not close the thread as long as the discussion remains civil.
While I personally do not support the lawsuit idea because it divides the community in two parts and there are better ways to help the community. You can try to help positively for the greater good for everyone or run a negative campaign that will help some but hurt others who are also like you and are genuinely following the law. I also think it will be expensive and may not have a lifeline. As IV members we need to all work together to fix the system. This was the basis of founding IV. The aim was never to look after our own selfish interests and hurt others who are like us. We never discriminated between different EB categories or country of chargeability. The intent of our fight is not to deny others their greencards and get ours first, but to allow everyone get their greencards. The intent is to have the system be efficient and work the way it was intended. IV core team has never made action items or ask lists in campaigns to suit their own selfish needs.
Now in this post you have raised a serious issue. If a fraud is going on, do collect evidence and file a complaint against it. If consulting companies are making money by gaming the system, drag those companies in your complaint. Help punish such people who are gaming the system. IV community will appreciate that.
There is some wisdom needed here to draw a line between selfishness and working with honest intentions to clean up the system.

I think the company should be filing the fees but lawyers fee for filing is not their liability. Hi Folks,
In many of the articles and forums I have read that applicants spent a lot of money on medical exams, lawyer fees, and so on towards the Employee based Green Card application.
Is it legal for one to spend money (out of one's own pocket) towards getting employee based green card ?
From what I had hear from my company's legal department was that they cannot take any money from me towards the green card application as it is not legal. Employee Based Green Card is for Employer's benefit and not employee's....though it eventually helps the employee -:)
Any comments ?

Hi!
My name on the birth certificate is "girl". What should I do correct it. I was reading on the forums, that we can get a written statement saying that the name was not decided when I was born. And submit that along with high school mark sheets etc. Are there any other things that could rectify this error.

clarification from Ron Gotchers site about Sept Visa bulletin:- no progress for EB3 I/C..write letters...call, do whatever you can to highlight the issue
http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5984&page=3
My interpretation was wrong
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what I got back in response to my inquiry:
Quote:
Yes I probably should have said Worldwide Employment Third. My primary concern at this point is with the China E3 cut-off date which has an extremely large amount of demand.
My earlier understanding was clearly wrong. He was referring to worldwide third preference. This clarification also expresses concern that China E3 has very large demand. This, in turn, means that China E3 is not likely to move forward very quickly due to heavy demand.
