Pappu,
I've sent you a PM. Please let me know. We are committed to follow the instructions of IV leadership to take this further.
All,
Please send me a PM to me join in this parallel effort. Lets collect a list of folks and organize a dedicated effort.
I fully second Pappu's comment as the current IV core leadership does not have time/$$ to spend on Citizenhip. Getting GC for all of us has and should be the first priority. Thanks to IV core and many of us fellow volunteers, their effort has paid off as things are moving decently fast for EB2 for now. Hopefully our fellow EB3 friends also see some hope in FY'11. As I was saying in the previous posts, many big corps have not filed for new labors in FY'08, FY'09 which should free up many ROW visas. This should help EB3 in the near future.
I can also join on this effort.

CIR !!!! --> Not until 2011 at least based on the current political climate, etc IMO.
For EB3 (All countries) to see some light, the changes made recently to the allocation of excess visa, spill over and also to over subscribed countries need to be revisited. Not sure, what triggered USCIS / DOS to revise the interpretation after so many years. Did IV had any role on this, or not .. do not know.. I ask this as based on all forum updates, IV appears to have little success in the Admin Fix area. I have posted this so many times in various threads and did not get an answer, may be there is none. If the interpretation was somewhat like before, EB2 /3 both would have got the spillover... and all would have benefited in the order of PD. Now with the new interpretation. all excess / spillover visa just goes only to 2 countries (EB2 India / China). Looking at the latest numbers based on USCIS website, China has far less cases compared in India based on the cut-off date, which is good for India (EB2), as they now consume a big chunk of the numbers and rest are left out for now. I am not sure, what is opinion on this from folks from ROW (EB3) on this. Does IV has any comment on this... Having said this, I have nothing against Eb2 or EB2 India specific, and not getting into the argument whether or not EB2 need to given much preference.. (Well DOS allocated on 28.6% of total numbers to both this category). This is just my concern on the changes to interpretation for the visa spill over process.

Can I apply for H4 along with H1B (my spouse)? If not, when is the earliest time I can apply for it and in average, how long will it take to change of status from F2 to H4?
Also, If I am currently under F1 visa, can I change of status to H4 while studying? Is there any requirement that I have to change of status from F1 to H4 before I complete my studying a number of specified days/months?
One more thing, I heard that if I have Canadian PR, I am allowed to work in the US, is that right? If so, how long can they work in the US?
Thank you very much for your help.

I guess we have enough people convinced and for those short sighted ones will have an option whether they want to get naturalized or live on their dear GCs so by that time if they educate themselves they will be convinced too.
Now what are the next steps in chanelling this effort through IV Core?

IV Core members,
I am putting in 40 dollars now.
I understand your hard work. It is a big task as this is not your regular job.
Please continue your efforts. If you want to collect more money, then you need to send more emails. More and more members are needed as well.
Information are available in your website about the problems in GC process and the efforts taken by IV in fixing them. You have presented it very well.
I appreciate and congratulate the core team for all the efforts you take. I am not worried about the results. Our effort is important and definitely the core team is doing that.
Keep up the good work.

Hi,
My Husband and daughter appeared for the interview on Dec 6th 2006 but they were given 221(g) blue form and were asked to drop the papers in Hyderabad VFS office and it was clearly mentioned not to attend personally
As per The 221(g) form , they dropped passports and my original I797,I129 and all supporting documents including my original H1 papers and marriage certificates on Feb 20th 2007 , After 4 months on July 3rd 2007 we got a mail from ChennaiAF@state.gov to appear for interview on any Monday before 9 am with Passports and all other supporting documents but we have already dropped all the documents including passports in Hyderabad VFS drop box and it have been couriered to Chennai US Consulate through them.
I mailed to US consulate to suggest whether they can appear for the interview only with this mail printout but I haven’t got any reply and also my husband talked to customer representative they said he can come with the mail print out as they already dropped their passports . My husband and daughter reappeared for the to US Consulate Yesterday July 23rd 2007.The security people didn’t allow him inside since they don’t have their passports my husband showed his Identification card and printout of the mail from ChennaiAF@state.gov and they allowed my husband but not my daughter as she doesn’t have the mail or identification card. She is 4 yrs old and we already dropped her date of certificate and passports in drop box along with my Husband papers.
Finally after a long conversation they were sent inside accompanied by an Indian officer. But when he explained his case to the Indian officers they said that they were not aware of the mail from ChennaiAF@state.gov and finally he was sent to interview and US consulate officer said that his case is still under process and they were sent back again
They have dropped the passports and all supporting documents on Feb 20th 2007 and now its been more than 5 months but still they say that the case is still under process. Can any one please let me know why he was sent the below mail from ChennaiAF@state.gov to attend for interview when the case is still in process. How long still would it take for this Administrative process and when can i expect a reply from consulate.
Along with the passports they have also dropped the few original documents of my I-797, I-129 ,LCA , our marriage certificate and my daughters date of birth certificate. Please let us know whether if there is any chance to verify that passprot and my original documents have been misplaced by US consulate
Please find their case Batch id
Case Batch id :- 339-461-3 STATUS
Also please suggest if there are any alternatives.
Thanks,
Pushpa

right. in the AILA call also they cautioned that retrogression will become worse (dates moving back!) once USCIS starts processing all those July/August filers...
Once USCIS completes data entry of all 800K 485s (may be with in next month) they will have clear picture. They may give a report to DOS, how many waiting in each catagory (EB1,2,3) with PD with countrywise break out. Then DOS will easily setup the cutoff dates. This may happen in Jan or Feb.
I feel that EB3 India may stay like this (in 2001). EB2 India may go back to 2003 or 2002 , based on how many guys in EB3 with PD 2002, 2003 converts to EB2. All other countries may see slight forward movement.

:(:(I need some help. I am a non substanially comparable position candidate and I have been aduited. The CO mentioned that my job seems similar and want me to provide more information on my job duties so my manager and I worked together to ensure that my jobs were different to meet the requirements and I resubmitted my case. Does anyone know what the DOLs view on substainally comparable position candidates? Am I likely to get denied? I am in the a position that is not the typical IT role but working with HR and wanted to know what the DOL's response might be and if i am likely to get denied. Also, I am a fragormen client who is recently being audited so I'm nervous. Can you anyone help me??!?!?!

Here are few sentences from Senator kennedy's concession speach at 1980 Democratic convention in New York
[B]For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.[B]
You can hear the speech at http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/tedkennedy.htm
So guys dont get depressed, As long as people like senator kennedy / Mccain are in senate I have hope.
God bless America.
Yes, the dream shall never die. We all know that we will get our GCs eventually. But sooner will be so different from later. There will be no point if we get our GCs 10 year later. How many 10 years do we still have? Can we imagine our lives without this GCs for another 10 years? Not even 5 years!
I start to feel that my US dream is so stupid.

Soft LUD - Only the date for the Last Update Date changes but the actual status and the message do not change.
Hard LUD - Not only the date changes, but both the status and message change as well.

I went to my congresswomen's office on may 6th and provided details of my pending 485. Their office called me today that our cases were approved on May 5th and cards have been mailed!! They also told me to contact NSC to get tracking no. I called NSC and and got the USPS tracking no's. No change in status online at USCIS, no email or SMS from USCIS.

I have a question,
Could you please provide how to get in touch with these political people and how to get their time and explain them? Do we get an appointment?
Also draft of letters to provide them as a refrence?
An Agenda when we visit them?
If you could please provide these guidelines, we will know what all needs to be done and anybody interested would do it.
Please visit Senate.gov to find your Senator and House.gov to find your house rep by ZIP code.
Then you can call them up and fix an appointment with their immigration representative. Generally they may have a date only 2-3 weeks later.
Once you have got a confirmed sate, please contact user StarSun, who will provide you with material and information on what to discuss with the law maker.
I tried calling and setting up appointment with our local senator and congressman hack even their associates. I was told that they have too much on their schedule to meet with me. I guess:
No vote = No Value...
Could you let us know which district this was for both? There is a chance a few law makers out of 500+ may not be sympathetic to our cause. In some cases we could change that, but this is the reason everyone else needs to keep trying with other senators and congressmen.
A modest suggestion:
Talk to lawmakers about the redundancy of the Labour Certification and the Quota processes. Explain it this way. An employer needs someone for a job. They advertise the job, and find no qualified Americans for the job. They get the Secretary of Labour to certify that there are no Americans for the job (BTW, that's what a "Labour Certificate" is...it the US Department of Labour certifying there are no Americans qualified to do your job!).
Then that company, who has a need for an employee, needs to wait up to 10 years to hire someone permanently for that job (that's the Visa Number quota system). This is horrible for business productivity.
Yes thats a good point that labor certification seems a bit redundant after the H1 process.Increase or elimination of country quota and a points/skill based system are also one of the longer term priorities of IV. Some of these may fit more into a comprehensive model as the changes would be large. For piecemeal recapture is a simpler option.
IV has a predetermined set of suggestions to improve skill based immigration, including most of the above, which would benefit all immigrants. Will post a link shortly.
