Hello,
I called up the number yesterday and luckily some lady picked up. She was not even willing to answer :((. When I asked about the status, she said it will take 20 days time. I dont know why they have mentioned it in website as 7 business days. I think indian consulate doesnt know the meaning of customer service. In this modern era, why cant they keep a site to track our status...

Here is the reality: The thread is 2 years old and we have not had a group of motivated folks who could commit both time and money for this. In the last 2 years thousands have read this thread and have got greencard, but after getting greencard most people have different priorities in life. Writing posts on the forum asking IV to work on it will not get anything done on this issue. Nobody else will do anything unless those who seriously want to work on it commit their time and money for it.
They need to be going to fund raisers of lawmakers and contributing to election campaigns etc as a first step to lobbying. We need to see IV green card and citizen members doing this more regularly anyways to help others in line behind them and get more politically active.
Few things for GC holders to know:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Can non-US citizens contribute?
Foreign nationals are prohibited from making any contributions or expenditures in connection with any election in the U.S. Please note, however, that "green card" holders (i.e., individuals lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the U.S.) are not considered foreign nationals and, as a result, may contribute. For additional information, consult our "Foreign Nationals" brochure.
Read more : http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/foreign.shtml
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here is how people can organize this effort:
If some green card holders seriously want to work on this issue, the first thing they need to do is form a team. Commit for a long term effort. This is not going to be an effort for a few month or days but will take several years. After you form a team, the next task would be gather as many people as you can who want to work on this issue and wish to meet lawmakers. You will also need start-up money to work on this effort. This effort is not as simple as fixing green card backlogs. If we are thinking working on this effort will be as simple as writing emails, then it will not be worth spending time. Be prepared to personally go and meet lawmakers in both your area and DC every couple of months. IV core team has been making trips to DC every month for past 4 years and only then we have been able to bring our issue in focus.
Citizenship rule change would change the INA and would require lot of support from H1B community, Greencard holders and citizens. It would require lot of funds too. Be ready to contribute your own funds (not hundreds but more than that to start) to run advocacy tasks. IV site is just a platform with a web-forum, but the real work that costs money is daily advocacy operations. Running is site is not expensive. Once the effort gains momentum, you can raise from IV forums from other Greencard members as a separate pool just like we did for FOIA.
At this time IV does not have the bandwidth or resources to work on this issue. Our primary focus is fixing greencard backlogs so that our members are out of the Greencard Queue. We started this organization for this purpose and we wish to finish what we started before we take on any new effort. Even though some core team members have Greencards, we are all committed to work on Greencard backlogs and will not work on other agenda items in our limited time. It will have to be a parallel team within IV that can work on this issue. IV team can guide as needed but we simply cannot divide our limited time and resources on a new effort.

Reading from this thread and few other, it is confirmed that in most cases, even if PD is current for a 485 filer, USCIS may not adjudicate those cases unless the processing time is reached. (There are few lucky applicants with PD 2005 and filed 485 after July 2nd and have already received their GC - but that is very few).
And most centers, they are processing Dec 2006 485 applications - a backlog of 10 months.
So, assuming that it may take same 10 months to process 485 filed in July - that is May 2008!!
With this, what are the chances of DOS making PD current for all EB categories again next June? They will do this to use all the VISA numbers for FY2008.
Or, if they don't want to repeat the confusions that happened in July 2007, to what dates will the PDs move (in June/July 2008)? Atleast to 2006?
Thye just see the PD and don't wait for the processing time. Processing time is SLA(Service Level Agreement), either they specify the time frame in which they pocess the case or if they are running beyond their SLA they specify the oldest date of the application in the system.

I don't have clear picture on what IV is planning to do now except that FOIA drive. I request the core team to inform all IV members explicitly about their plan. I guess there will be more donations than they expect.
suggestion: while sending emails that there is a reply to your post, they should also add the actions they have been/ or planning to take.

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.
Best wishes!
I think we need to grab the the opportunity for this "Diversity Lottery Bill" and keep it alive and on forefront. If this happens, it will be a boon for EB category.
If you are not already in, you can make a team from people from the group "Want to file I 485 thread" so that we can have a team of 20-30 dedicated people doing the same advocacy what you two guys are doing.

Hi Guys,
Happy to say , got the CPO status last night for my EAD.
I had e-filed on May 25th. 4 days back had called up customer service, and one lady said she would send an expedite request. Probably that did the trick. I had taken info pass appmnt for Aug 25 and was planning to meet the local congresman today.
Good luck you all. I know how frustrating the wait is ..
Hi,
Can you tell us what reason can we say to get the Expedited Request done?? Looks like they have a list of reasons and am not sure if that would create any more issues for us!
Thanks

Those whose PDs are getting close to the spillover time have time to waste on the forum on useless discussions. Others are busy in advocacy day and contributing. I would not be surprised that these antiIV folks will turn anti-immigrants once they get their greencards. They will not want more people to get greencards after them and compete with them and their children in job market.

Guys following are action items,
1) Finalise letter template - we need to use INA and specify where what needs to be changed. - we have sent old template to Mr. Schumer - CIR architect.
2) With immigration voice Send Email interface Send email to local Senator / Congressman/woman.
3) Call local senator/ Congressman/woman for appointment describing subject above. - we had followup call with Mr. Schumers office.
4) Meet and Give presentation.
5) Revisit office on subject & keep issue alive and request this to be added to CIR.
Is this IV approved? Please do not jeopardize by asking for things using IV letterhead/interface that have not been approved by the IV team............. There is too much at stake for the people who are still in line for GC (let alone citizenship)

There is nothing like processing window. What each center reports is their status. If you see page where processing dates are reported, they say if your receipt notice date is prior to date reported you can contact them. This suggests that they believe all cases upto the published dates have been processed. This does not mean that they are not permitted to work on cases after the published date. In fact they may have been working way beyond the published dates.

Conference committee and its proceedings are always closed-door things. Remember there is alittle one can do. also considering the gravity of the situation, i'd say just wait. i know that's not the best scenario but it is what it is
i don't think the committee not yet formed, in the first place and there is no time line / rule that guides about conference committe proceedings
I have the same question. What's the latest about CIR/House? Is IV Core team working on something? No words from IV core team about CIR..!

1. Eliminate EAD & AP, let I485 receipt notice be sufficient for travel and employment authorization.
2. Restart H1B visa renewal by mail. Let there be added scrutiny while the application is processed. It atleast wont let people out of country for unknown time.

PlainSpeak
01-13 09:16 AM
This is typically what anti-immigrant and competitor websites do, they never donate or take part in advocacy activities - like PlainSpeak. examples of anti-immigrants are numbersUSA, FAIR and many others. your game is up, you can leave this website.
They pick up a thread that educates members about advocaccy and pretend to have an argument and completely divert the topic. If people have questions there are better ways to talk to management or core.
There were very valid posts about meeting lawmakers and requests for ideas for a better EB system, which were all supressed thanks to the negative campaign.
Admins please delete posts of PlainSpeak as his goal is to hamper advocacy efforts.
This is a grass-root effort and there is no nice way of getting rid of weeds.
Freeloader weeds are just filling up our Server disk space that we pay for, with their bullshit.
My Friend tonyHK12
Has it come to this that i am now an anti immigrant (numbersUSA, FAIR) for speaking my mind. With persons like you an anti immigrant does not need to make an effort. Please get this clear anti iimigrants do not care about immigrants period. They are against you and me both.
My friend if you have concerns about free loader weeds who are filling up the server disk space (which you pay for) which i feel is a genuine concern they why not make the following option listed below which you as a IV paid member can certainly get implemented via IV core
- Make IV website a paid website. Only thing a person can do for free is read the posts.
- To write a post the person has to be a paid member
- Make membership a recurring monthly payment like how you do for collecting advocacy donations currently
- Use this new membership money for whatever needs to be done for IV
You still do not get it my friend
- I am ready to pay membership to IV to air my views and concern which i feel is genuine
- I refuse on principle to pay donation for advocacy which i believe is not working towards aleivating the concerns on issues of the largest group stuck by retrogression which IV represents
- My goal is to NOT hamper advocacy but ensure that the advocacy works towards the benefit of the whole group not part of the group
- As a request Keep the post write membership group seperate from current Donor membership group and let them have seperate identities in public. That way people know the difference between the 2 groups.
My Friend tonyHK12 thank you for keeping faith and let me reiterate once more that i am indebeted to you for currently taking active taking part in vounteering and donating on IV. Whatever is your deficiencies in having a logical argument you are doing what is needed and for that i salute you.
I would like to take this time to thank IV Core/Admin to allow me to express my views and thoughts till now. Sure i know it would be a simple matter to IV to ban me and delete my posts, but i am assuming and hoping that IV core and IV admin has more maturity then all these junior members who are EB2 and cannot have a proper discussion without kicking someone off the forum for not having the same alignment of views like them.

So you will be on H1 till conclusion. Best Luck.
Yes, I dont really see that as a problem right away (though I am aware of the risks!). I have completed only 4 years of my H1B and with approved I140, I should be able to extend another 3 years, (if required).
BharatPremi, do you know if one can have both 485 and CP processes simultaneously?
I am just wondering if I could file 485 (if my PD becomes current and stays current only for a short period as it happened in July) and have my CP case also alive.
My CP case is already in Consulate (after processing Form 230) which means I am just awaiting an interview. 485 is to safeguard my GC against any unforeseen odds and risks. Is that possible?
Or, can I file another LC (under EB2) and once I140 is approved (using prior PD), can I interfile (in CP)?
I just wanted to have the safety net that 485 provides or move to EB2 so that interview can be expected in the next year or so -if my new I140 is approved by then!
Any recommendations and is this technically possible?

Can you please let us know the procedure? I'm very much interested in filing a formal complaint with the CIS and Ombudsman. I'm not against genuine candidates getting their GC through MNC executive category, but would like to stop this malpractice.
You can email to Ombudsman at CISOmbudsman.Publicaffairs@dhs.gov providing all the detaisl. As a routine they ask to fill a form with your case particulars, explaining why something investigation should be done. Those forms are then sent to USCIS, who routinely give some absurd explanation.
In other words, it could help if there are lot of emails, or letters to Ombudsman (address and fax # can be found on their website - google for it). Emphasis should be on USCIS inefficiency, not following the sequence, PD's etc., if several example cases (via filling forms as they need those for privacy reasons). Give simple examples, such as in May 07, EB2-India cutoff was April 04, now in May 09, it is Feb 04, whereas in the meantime many with PD's in 2005 and 2006 have been granted visas. Why?
Note that PD's, a very important critieria for retrogressed country cases, are not anywhere other than the paper applications. Therefore, USCIS/DOS have no way to know who should or should not be processed next. They claim that they process cases in order they receive (paper filings). By processing, they mean they check all docs (birth certificates, medicals, photos) AND Priority Date currency. If at the moment your file is being looked at, your PD is not current, it is put aside. This completes their processing of your case, and they move to the next one. What happens to cases put aside in this way, is not defined or clear. In last quarter, they ask permission to work on larger number of cases (which they get via widened PD cutoffs). unfairness is evident with this process.
You can email to Ombudsman at CISOmbudsman.Publicaffairs@dhs.gov providing all the detaisl. As a routine they ask to fill a form with your case particulars, explaining why something investigation should be done. Those forms are then sent to USCIS, who routinely give some absurd explanation.
In other words, it could help if there are lot of emails, or letters to Ombudsman (address and fax # can be found on their website - google for it). Emphasis should be on USCIS inefficiency, not following the sequence, PD's etc., if several example cases (via filling forms as they need those for privacy reasons). Give simple examples, such as in May 07, EB2-India cutoff was April 04, now in May 09, it is Feb 04, whereas in the meantime many with PD's in 2005 and 2006 have been granted visas. Why?
Note that PD's, a very important critieria for retrogressed country cases, are not anywhere other than the paper applications. Therefore, USCIS/DOS have no way to know who should or should not be processed next. They claim that they process cases in order they receive (paper filings). By processing, they mean they check all docs (birth certificates, medicals, photos) AND Priority Date currency. If at the moment your file is being looked at, your PD is not current, it is put aside. This completes their processing of your case, and they move to the next one. What happens to cases put aside in this way, is not defined or clear.
