Are you coming to DC. Join us so we can all make a difference.

.........I have to thank you. Thank you for stirring us up. Thank you for motivating us to action. Stirring up those of us who have been in a deep slumber.....we'll prove that we do matter and that we DO HAVE WHAT IT TAKES.

Thanks brother.:)

I will add in a 100$ for every 5000$ we raise as well

Great

Yes, but it is not the receipt generation, it is the actual review of the case as per advertised processing dates. if your case is in the Processing Date window (based on your online receive date), then most likely your case is preadjudicated, and now is waiting for the visa in sequence of PD. Best of luck.

Thanks. Fortunately I have my I-485 approved more than a year ago and it was adjudicated and approved in one go.

The review of the cases progresses as per RD in pre-adjudication

would anyone care about green or red i guess its better to be all red yahoo

lol...:D

I applied on April 2nd under advanced degree with premium processing and have not yet got a receipt. Anyone else in the same situation?

I think they are counted as reached on Monday (Apr 30) and hence have to go through the lottery selection.....

I will contribute $25.

How to contribute? I have a regular payment going out to IV. How to ensure this one goes to this separate bucket and not mixed with the general contributions.

If this has been discussed in the middle of this thread - please consider updating the first post with the info so that we don't have to dig through pages of discussions to find it.

I'll donate 50.00...

Yes when you leave the country you are in status again! for i-485 AOS, USCIS will look at your status since your LAST entry into the country

Ok, so if I file the i-140/i-485 now and leave/re-enter the country with a new stamp. Now, if my I-140 is approved after that, and then my i-485 is looked at after that date, will I considered to be in status then, because by the time they are looking at the AOS application, I have already left and returned to the country??

Or should be in status the day the AOS petition is filed and even if i leave/re-enter the country after that, it does not matter?!

What will happen to the applications that weren't processed because the cap, would they return the filing fees? My guess is they don't.

I told you folks, that I will be redded. It was true...

You may idolize a super cop or a good cop. But without basic humanity he is not even a human. You might red me on this perhaps. But I would not as its your view and this is my view. I hope other fellow IVians will acknowledge this.

Whats your PD?

I filed my I-485 last July (PD March 2005). It was transferred from the TSC to the NSC and since Dec 2007 it has been untouched too.

This is really depressing. My hopes were raised so high when the cut-off dates for EB2-I jumped forward over two years .. only to be dashed when they moved back to 2003!!

Thats when I decided to write to these incompetents.

Hi,


Please reply to the post with order#..so that the thread will be alive and on top so that no one miss.

I am planning to send the e-mails to the media regarding the FLOWER DAY...JULY 10TH.

Please share your ideas.

Thanks,
Chandra.

Congratulations!

Your PD is not current this month, how come they approved it?

I am confused now!:D

I thought that with the Sept 2009 bulletin ( PD shifted to 01 Jan 2005 for EB2 India), my PD is current!


Am I missing something?


Best
Fred

paid my dues for this month...
i cant believe USCIS is acting like some cheap ass organization. they generate billions of dollars of revenue..and they want us to pay 5K to develop a software to sort their database.

absolutely awesome !!! I think i will have to stop being cheap and start contributing

IV members, we need your stories. We are going to make an all out effort to pass this on to senators/media folks to realize the urgency of the situation.

Who's story we need?
Your story about how you are affected by retrogression/back log etc. It could be as simple as 'I have a BS in Mathematics and am stuck in back log for 2 years and cannot fulfil my dreams professionally' to 'I have a PhD in Nuclear Science and US needs me coz there are only a handful of us!' Anything and everything works.

We have literally recieved stories of stay at home moms (because of H4 they cannot work) to folks who have been interviewed by MIT! The whole spectrum helps.....please please send us your stories...we need all the weapons when we go face the senators on behalf of IV

Why we need your stories?

Media folks
Sometimes we get approached by journalists who need a story the very next day. They are looking for specific subjects for the story though.

An example is say the Investors Business Daily (a financial daily). A reporter might come to us and ask us if we have anyone from the Finance sector who is suffering due to retrogression and is willing to speak up about it. They might also add that we need only Eb1/Eb2 category folks.
When this happens, we are in a mad scramble to find folks who fit this criteria so that we do not lose this chance.
Another example might be of a Medical Journal looking for doctors stuck due to retrogression.
We are constantly getting requests like this but cannot capitalize on it because we do not have enough stories already available to fit the criteria.
So please send in your stories. It need not be earth shattering at all (most of us are mere mortals). You never know when a reporter is specifically looking for a story similar to yours and you might just tilt the balance in favor of skilled immigrants.

We promise we will not reveal your story to media if you do not want to.
Though there is no harm to reveal one's name in media as can be evidenced by the folks featured in the Roll Call article, Philly Inquirer and News Observer.

At the same time we understand that you might have reasons to remain out of media and we will fully respect that.


Lawmakers
Even during the recess, we were talking to the staff of a ton of senators. Most of the time the senators' staff are interested only if someone from 'their constituency' is also affected. We always say we have a ton of folks from each state, but nothing works like a real example.

For example, when we speak to say Senator Kennedy, it helps us to present the story of folks affected by retrogression and living in say Boston, MA. That way, the staff has some incentive to look into this and get hooked immediately.

When we initially started meeting senators, their staff would ask QGA 'Immigration Voice, who or what is that?'

Lately when we go to meet them, most of the staff have already visited our website multiple times, know about us because of phone calls and faxes by members and ofcourse the articles that have been published....on top of this when we provide stories of members from their constituency, 50% of our work is already achieved....the liason team and QGA take over from there.

Please send us your stories by sending an email to , shrey@immigrationvoice.org, nagaraj@immigrationvoice.org, sandeep@immigrationvoice.org, sunil@immigrationvoice.org using the following template

Subject: Story of <Name here>

Body of email
Name -

Category of GC (EB1/EB2/Eb3 etc) -

Job Title in Brief -

Are you willing to reveal your info to media?

Are you willing to reveal your info to senators

Please note that if you are NOT willing to reveal your info, we would use your story but make sure that it cannot be tracked back to you. As in we will not name your company/address anywhere

Please help us spread awareness....
