Are you racist and believe that people of south asian descent are not skilled enough and hence do not deserve to even be on this forum, let alone engage dreams of an American citizenship?
you probably think you are the best and most skilled since you are from Dominican republic, and perhaps will not have to wait for a GC or even citizenship all that long. Look around, open your eyes, there are people from India/China who have been on this rollercoaster since 2001, and deserve a citizenship.
Stop this hatred of Asians or is it Indians??
Cool my friend. That guy has given false details in his profile. I know he hides all his original details. He must be a cheap guy. Neglect him....

I sent a letter to President Bush, trying to summarize our cases. Hope you can sent the same or as similar letter to him. The link is:

I am still collecting cases to continue pushing the Congress.
Thanks for your help and support
thanks I will send a letter, but doubt it will do any good as Mr Bush, does not care about our cases, remember we cannot even vote, even if we have a green card

Miscommunication happens. I completely understand.
FYI, all, I just called Senator Kerry's office and he said what ever is there in Congress.gov is true and it is passed according to him. Go figure.
what does that mean?

I will answer some of your questions to the best of my knowledge.
There is also a lot of information on advocacy on the top of this page, 'Advocacy' tab.
Red threads are action items started and approved by admin/core. donor threads say "donor forum" on the title.
Admins are still in the process of organizing, and a lot of this can be done only once we finalize most of the volunteers and donations collected - it will depend on this.
Contributions are optional and no money is expected from volunteers, except what you spend for your own stay and travel. Of course every one knows There ain't no such thing as a free lunch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_ain%27t_no_such_thing_as_a_free_lunch). people still do wish though!
The only free lunch is meeting your local lawmakers as they are obliged to listen to your issues. That is the only thing we have asked most people to do in large numbers
Business dress code should be good enough. We are trying to convey we are high skilled immigrants and future entrepreneurs who create jobs.
You're right most lawmakers don't even know we have a problem and the reason is we as a community are not reaching out to them. Representatives of house change every 2 years.
Thanks for your efforts. Employer support is very important in conveying our issues. Large companies have their own political lobbying group. Support of citizens and Green card holders helps a lot.
We still need a lot of volunteers all over the country, who are ready to work and not just post brilliant ideas on online forums.
Everyone has to work and spread information. Its no good saying why doesn't core do this or that and everything else.
Dear All,
First of all I am pleased to inform you that I will certainly attend the advocacy campaign. This will be my first participation. I am eager and hope to make it. I have also started making travel / stay arrangements.

Hi
Can I file for I-485 while I am waiting for I-140 approval. My PD is current under eb2 and my I-140 was filed on Jan-2007. I am going to upgrade to PP for I-140 but since lots of people will start going to file for PP, it is very much likely that NSC will issue RFE to reduce there workload. So my question is while I wait for I-140 approval, can I file I-485?
Yes, my attorney just confirmed that we do not need to get I-140 approved and directly file I-485. YES!!!

You should call NVC and check with them the status of your application, most likely they have done all the processing for you. I doubt that they have a visa number for you, if they did they would have called you for an interview already.
We completed package 3 already last August and sent the forms together with ORIGINAL certificates to the NVC as requested. They also asked for the visa fees at that time which we also paid. So I guess we already have visa numbers ?
Our sponsor company in the US is waiting since almost 3 years for my husband to start working for him. I think we're lucky that he's willing to wait so long and didn't give up at some point during this whole process ?

Finally the much awaited SMS/e-mail came through (from TSC). My guess is USCIS (TSC/NSC/etc) is approving cases at random as long as PD is current. There is no logic to Filing date / Notice date and all that. I came on F-1 10 years back (08/03/00) and was current for 2 months in 08 with no luck..... Please be patient... I know it is been frustating after a long wait and at times to see GC get approved for folks with later PD and all that after all we are humans and feel why someone was choosen today and not me ...... hang in there and I wish u all get that magic e-mail.....

GC is moving target, looks like some drunkard wakes up one fine morning and randomly moves the priority date value/importance. I know those in such situation may be relatively less in number but I know many who are and repurcussions for this look horrible for people who have not made past this luck test. I was one of the unlucky ones :(. good luck to guys who have moved forward hope you still help rest of us still stuck.
Oh Yeah??
So why didn't we accept the current retrogression as "injustice and screwed up process of USCIS" and just sat tight? Why did IV get started? Why threadful of messages moaning in agony over the retrogression? What warranted those threads, and for that matter, IV then?

Thank you. We appear to have similar filing profiles. If your profile pic is of yourself, we probably have similar interests as well, although I ride a standard, not a crotch-rocket. :cool:
Have you considered the fatc that if CIS is going as per Receipt Dates within a PD batch, we're talking thousands of cases?

Just out of curiousity what skills do you have ? and I believed Life is full of shortcuts :)
There is no point in educating a mass of angry, frustrated EB3-I folks.
By preference (a LEGAL statute), EB1>EB2>EB3
For spillover (a LEGAL statute), EB1>EB2>EB3
EB1-I get their GCs in about a year.
EB2-I get their GCs in about 6 years.
EB3-I get their GCs in about 8 years.
SO WHAT IS THE BLOODY PROBLEM??? Wait your turn patiently like everyone else, or upgrade your skills and education to apply for EB2 jobs. Stop bitchin' and moanin' and trying to find shortcuts in life. There are none.

02/02/2007: What Did Senator Kerry Immigration Reform Bill Mean to EB Immigrants?
In highsight, the failure of the Kerry Amendment to H.R.2 to pass the Senate could be considered a relief to the EB immigrants. Review of the immigration reform bill in the H.R. will establish that the bill proposed for the employment-based immigration system practically nothing other than increasing the annual quota to 290,000. None of the provisons in the SKIL bill was reflected in the bill, including exemption of the spouses and children from from the numerical limitations, exemption of certain EB groups from the annual numerical limits, opportunity for filing I-485/765/131 for the I-140 beneficiary during the visa number retrogression, etc. etc. etc.! Had this been enacted, it would have affected the upcoming CIR bill or special legislation for Employment-Based immigration system reform. This reporter was shocked to learn that this bill provided practically no relief for the employment-based imigrants other than farm workers and the children eligible for DREAM Act bill. The bill was extremely imbalanced legislation in a way from the perspectives of the "Comprehensive" Immigration Reform.
We will see whether the Senate leaders will indeed complete and introduce the CIR proposal next month.
