    Also, lot of EB1 guys working through consulting companies - negotiate there Green Card to be filed as EB1 before joining them.
    And Consulting companies can show anything they want..any hierarchy/structure etc.
    On the other hand, actual PHD does have lot of knowledge , publishing paper is daunting task which needs lot of research and originality.

    Here is the most up-to-date list of people who have reported their issues with the audit delays:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?a3znd69ymyz

    I think its about time that we start brain storming the plan of action, I did like the idea of rally but that had its own Pros and Cons. We need more ideas coming from the people...

    I was thinking that we could draft a letter of request to DoL and have all the members sign on it to reflect the massiveness of the issue that Management needs to know - this is becoming a major issue in the EB immigration process. We could then write up a follow-up article for newspaper or even provide a copy of that signed letter to them. Any input to this?

    I have requested IV Admins to provide some input as well, but if you have any ideas please speak up!

    Here is what one of the IV administrators communicated to me:

    "In order for anything to be successful, it is important that we get as many people affected involved. Based on the number of people who wish to take part in solving the issue we can initiate a campaign.

    Pls let everyone know that IV can help them. We need everyone affected willing to help themselves by coming out and actively participating in a campaign."

    So please, dont disperse or lose hope, we need to gather more people to support the campaign, once started.



    Admins: I am unable to add the files as an attachment, even after making sure that the file size is under the limit. Am I missing something?

    Whats your contact number. Please send me a pvt msg. thanks

    I just checked my online status one last time for the day; since the USCIS website was down all day. Usually its the same status but now I saw a LUD in today’s date. I checked the case status and both me and my wife have the Card Production Status:D
    No emails or text just the update. Called the phone number and got the same message that the card has been ordered.

    Its been a very long journey very similar to many here. Its been almost 11 years to a month since we came to this country and had to go through 2 applications to finally reach here. Sacrificed career for the sake of the GC and was at my wits ends with this long wait. Thanks to the almighty the road from here is hopefully green:)

    Things I did:
    1. Wife opened SR- Got standard response
    2. Called congressman- they called and got standard response
    3. I opened a SR on Aug 3rd
    4. I called today and spoke with standard rep who told me my SR has a response “we are processing the case actively and need additional verification. If you don’t hear in 6-9 months please call back”. I told the level 1 rep I need to talk to level 2 and she transferred.
    Level 2 and me spoke at length. She was very considerate and polite. The best info she could give was that my case was being actively adjucated. The case is at TSC, if it was not with an IO it will be in New Hampshire in storage.:eek: Give some more time for the case. I expressed my fear about dates retrogressing and she affirmed “hopefully this time it wont”.

    And now I saw the status change. My wife still has a FP on the 12th and I have an infopass which I will cancel.
    Best of luck to all who are waiting, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
    @ smisachu,

    Congratulations!

    Still status quo for me so far.

    Do not get too excited. If we are still in current in the Sep 2010 bulletin, then some reason for hope.

    As of now, I only expect < 5% people to get approved this month.

    If we are still current for Sep 2010 bulletin, then expect around 35 % to get through.

    If we still stay current until the end of the year, expect ~ 80 % to get through.

    How did I get the numbers ? My gut feeling.

    First, I am not promising to solve anything. I am just saying that I will bring up the issues when I have my meeting. If this thread is a distraction, then feel free to ignore it.

    Second, those who have participated in this forum over the past year know about the issues I was working on.

    Third, the forum moderators have my contact information and I have corresponded directly with them (Aman Kapoor). If you don't believe I am who I say I am, feel free to contact the mods.

    I am not sure what the point is about "innocent Indians." Does it really matter if I am Canadian? Is this forum restricted to South Asians?

    Hi totro...Please ignore him and move on. If you read his other posts you would understand this. Please dont deviate from the core issues and wasting time to answering people who are raising unrealted questions.

    Pappu,

    IV may want to contact Home | Partnership for a New American Economy (http://www.renewoureconomy.org/) for support letters for the advocacy days. They may even sponsor. Worth a shot I think.

    Contact info: Feldstein, Robert <RFeldstein@cityhall.nyc.gov>. But he is out of office till Feb 28. So please contact Peter Goldwasser at pgoldwasser@cityhall.nyc.gov or (212) 788-4357.

    Can't pick stocks in this Volatile market, but one thing is certain the markets will be volaile for some time now. So I suggest be long Vega. Pick a stock where the implied vol is higher than historical vol (you will find plenty. Eg C) and put on an option straddle. Sure to make money.

    This is not a day trading strategy but a derivatives trade.

    I can post a few breakout runners in the AM but would like IV core's consent to do so. I can post runners in the chat so its faster and easier

    Once I get a go ahead I will post some

    I strongly suggest to WATCH WATCH WATCH the trades and not jump without knowledge of the trades.

    Again make a portfolio on google /yahoo or any other portal and watch the plays . Keep an eye on the volume / News of the trades.


    Just a side note :

    SAY - Satyam went into the dumps from 12 to .01 IN 2 WEEKS . NYSE dint trade it for 3 days . Today it opened again at 1.10 ---hit bottom of 0.78 and high of 1.77 .

    So a PDT watches for these breakout . If any one entered this stock at AROUND 1.00 earned anywhere from 50-75% on it.

    Why did it rise ?? Market plays on humna sentiments ...early morning news broke out that there "MAYBE" a govt bailout. sending SAY skyrocketing.



    Traditional investors may differ from my opinion....but then This is not for traditional investors sorry!!!!

    If you ask me ....I suggest just use your disposable income ONLY STRICTLY to play to learn . Start with as low as maybe even 500 bucks .

    Initially just play on the portfolio without money to see how you fare. As you learn you will be more confident

    Usually they give saying baby girl was born to the following parents on this date at this place. because at the time of birth the baby may not be named.

    Makes sense now, I assume your certificate is issued in a hospital. To enter the details in to the birth registration file, parents usually have to wait till they decide on the name and need to register the birth.

    SA 187.

    Kennedy's staff picked up something from their old files...like the original McCain-Kennedy bill of 2005 (the CIR before it hit the judiciary committee last year) that had the hard country cap and slapped it on Thomas against Session's amendment.

    If you look at the text, its remarkably similar to the original McCain-Kennedy text (140K to 290K, hard country cap, recapture...all that. Even the description of the title).

    They copy-pasted the text for skilled immigration from original McCain-Kennedy that was their brainchild, instead of copy-pasting it from S 2611 ES what had all the amendments from last year's senate CIR. But then again, copy-paste is very common on the Hill. Last year, Bill Frist copied the entire Judiciary Committee version and introduced it after deleting 2 titles related to Amnesty and guest-worker bill.

    If this amendment had really passed, and if it had not been modified in the conference between house and senate and if hard cap had become a law, then this amendment would have done more harm than good.

    Could you elaborate on the harm that would cause us please...
    I would like to understand this system.....

    Immigrants who don't pay off and run away should be extradited and put behind bars.



    It might cost more than what originally one owes....then again your tax money is wasted.

    This rumor from fragomen's site is creating a havoc everywhere.

    These rumors are wreaking havoc on people who are not in a perfect position to control the timing of filing. Many lawyers and many employers will file between 25th and 31st July. And I can accept that. My own HR and lawfirm have made it clear that we will file before 31st July but there is no guarantee that it will be sooner than that and any sooner than that is not neccesary.

    Those who are filing on their own can file on July 1st. But those who are depending on lawyers and their own HR, please relax and stop thinking too much.

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    Deadline = April 30th, 2011
    Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
    Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
    2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
    3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")

    This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.

    As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.

    Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
    Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative

    As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.

    The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    What can you do to participate?
    1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.

    http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html

    Then please send an email to ivcoordinator@gmail.com (starsun) with subject - "I485 filing without current PD - Impacted Member". Include your a) IV username b) Email address c) Phone #, d) State of Residence e) Priority Date - so that grassroot efforts can be coordinated

    2) Print out below Flier and circulate at all asian/indian malls/groceries/theaters. Forward the flier to your friends/co-workers and ask them to do the same.

    I485 Filing Initiative Flier (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/images/a/a8/Flier_I485_latest2.pdf)

    3) Volunteers have created a facebook community and an Immigration Voice WIKI page to spread the message about this initiative. Please circulate these links among your friends/co-workers who will be helped.

    Please "Share" and "Link" and "send to friend" the facebook community via your Facebook account. Also include these two links when you post on the IV forum.

    Yes, do I-485 yourself, if you see your case is straightforward (not H1B transfer, ...). It is totall doable . We need an attorney for Lc. The I-485 form is much simpler, and, you are independent. Just download the form from USCIS website then follow the instructions. I regret of spending $2K for my attorney. I actually completed the form and they just send it. I recall to see one website they provide the service to check the filled legal forms.

    and why do you think those courses are not taught in a foreign country?

    yeah, because in that foreign country, people design some stupid GUI for that router, which obviously doesn't need assembly level programming for packet processing, so why waste money on teaching it?

    (not to be taken in a literal sense, no offense to GUI developers, they have their own level of complexity and skill set).

    So why do you abhor ALP so much?
    If you written any firmware, you will know, for some devices, it looks and feels like an assembly level code only.

    It is quite childish to create a new id every time you want to say something negative. Your message may be simple and straight forward, but it lacks the integrity or any trust worthiness.

    This thread has gone anywhere. It could be simply because of the lack of EB3 I members participation. There is a definite lack of support from the vested parties and a few are discrediting this solution from getting traction and to top it all, I don't see any rational explanation against this. All I see is uncivilized personal attacks, self gloating and people who love to have fun at the misery of others.

    As I said before, I will go ahead and do research on what we can do about it and use my years of invested social capital to see if I can do something about it. Once I get some thing substantially done, I will come here for support.

    For the "skillz" person, I personally enjoyed your rants. I have/had chances to know personally and professionally many Stanford graduates, I believe they are not as much as fun as you are. :)




    ============

    I believe in talking simple and straight. Well, EB3 friends have every right to work for their benefit. Nothing wrong with that. EB2 people should therefore unite and protect their interests too. EB2 group should unite and lobby hard to ensure that the current equation EB1 > EB2 > EB3 is not disturbed. After all, everyone is selfish when the pins are down. EB2 friends, can we be proactive and protect our interests before it is too late? Nothing to get emotional about

    Slumdog...I totally agree with your view point and in fact share the same. I believe you cannot put your life on hold waiting for GC or something unpredictable. I also agree with you that buying a house is a life style decision. You can live ur life hoarding cash living cheaply or you can live your life well. Also each has its advantages and its a personal choice.

    Also on another note I have become a fan of your blogs. I encourage you to write more and I am sure there are other people like me.

    That is a cheap shot.
