Assuming CIR is dead, is there anything we can look forward to (other than the monthly Visa bulletins for the eternally optimistic) now?
What are the chances SKIL or something similar making progress as a separate bill (or part of some other bill)?

This is a link to other races in the DC area: I have never run a race; so I plan on running one of the 5K races in May or June and maybe try one of the 10K races in August. I am sure there are other races abound in summer. If there are others who are apprehensive about running the 10miler (like me).........you might want to try doing something similar.

Immigration Voice: Announces Advocacy days in Washington DC in April.
Immigration Voice in its continued efforts to find legislative and administrative fixes is holding Advocacy Days in Washington DC on Monday, April 4th and Tuesday, April 5th.
2011 is a crucial year to get the fix needed to clear the backlogs and allow for our high skilled immigrants to get the relief needed. We need to capitalize on the opportunity to push for legislation now, as it is unlikely to have any favorable immigration bill to be brought for the next 2-3 years (Primary campaigns, Presidential campaigns will take priority).
IV’s vision is to hold more than 400 meetings with the legislator offices both in the House and the Senate. We will also be holding meetings with senior administration officials working on immigration issues. As a grassroots organization we need members from all across the country to register, participate in the advocacy event, bring awareness on our issues and seek a positive vote on our provisions from the legislators.
We aim to resolve this issue but we cannot do it alone and therefore it is imperative for everyone, and by that we mean EVERY ONE to participate in one way or the other. If you wanted to be a part of the past events but couldn’t, then now is your chance to make your voices heard and fight for a fair system and just process. Always remember, we are in United States at the invitation of our employers and our employers have filed our green card petitions in order to retain us. It is only fair and only just to ask for a system that achieves that objective without delays and without putting the immigrants in probationary limbo for 6-12 years. And it is your obligation to yourself and your family to stand up for your rights and ask Congress to legislate and fix the system so that it works the way it was originally intended to work.
Our previous efforts such as the June Advocacy 2010, September Advocacy and Rally 2007, Flower campaign, San Jose Rally, and many intermediary mini advocacy events in DC has allowed us to be one step closer to the goal. We need to make this upcoming event as a final push for reform. The President’s STOU address and feedback from Lawmaker meetings have provided us the encouragement to pursue this endeavor. As many of our members know, the efforts in our last advocacy days are consequential in how we are perceived by the lawmaker offices. IV calls upon members who participated previously to provide their input on the need for advocacy efforts and persuade many others to join in.
Immigration Voice will arrange for meetings, advocacy material, and other logistics necessary for all the events during the Advocacy Days. All you have to do is show up. We request our members to come in on Saturday, April 2nd for orientation and training. Please make arrangements to carpool (for driving distances), book airline tickets, and contact friends in DC/MD area to host you. IV will not sponsor your travel and stay for this event. We expect each one of you to take the initiative and stand up for yourself and your family and use this opportunity to ask lawmakers to act on high-skilled immigration issue.
Our efforts have to be of a massive scale, we need members from every State to participate in the event. To be successful we need more than 200 members attending meetings. We also need to know in advance on your attendance. Please take the time to talk to your employers, arrange for a leave of absence, and register for the event as soon as possible. Make every possible attempt to be in DC.
To conduct such an effort, IV also needs contributions. Our estimated cost is around $50,000 for the event. We need generous contributions from our members, especially from members who are unable to make it to the DC event. To be clear, all one time contributions starting from February 1st will be considered as a contribution to the advocacy event. All the recurring donations will continue to go towards Donor forum access. Our advocacy event costs will be on top of our regular costs and we need to pay for both.

I was supposed to travel on 31 july to india and am considering changing my tkt to 17 aug or so....just in case...that's stupid huh?????
for someone who shouldn't have hope...why am i praying lol
eligible to file 485 before AUG 17th is your case must certify by July 31st period. eligibility is LC approval not on LC filing. if filing is considered ,in that case people who are stuck in BEC can also file before u.
hope it helps

I did contribute during Flower campaign and I spread the word around to make sure my friends contributed as well. I was only trying to help you guys who are anxious looking at their case status online.
Thanks for info. Now we at least know the application is being worked on though the status does not change.
On a lighter note though, you are now making people to look at one more place for GC, that is mail box, in addition to checking email, SMS, and online status :D.

Thanks much for your help. Especially now that you are out of the rut; but your willingness to help others is higly appreciated. Hope all this effort will bring some positive outcome.
I had discussion with Mr.Gotcher about this issue. He said, AILA is collecting information on this matter and they are pursuing with Altanta center. But he does not believe or expect any positive outcome. As said earlier he insist to send a formal complaint with OIG and offered his time/help. As its affecting large group of people he refused to accept any fee. I offered we are ready to cover any expense which he might incurr, but seems like it would be very less and he offered free service. Mr.Gotcher will draft a letter in a week time. What we need now - lot support and signature. We do not need to provide any case number. so I dont believe there would be any consequence. So guys please come forward. Spread this news as much as possible and get enough support. Help yourself and get out of this mess.

No forward movement in EB2 (I or C).
EB3 is "Unavailable" for all countries of chargebility.
Where did the visas go this? Who got them that they are already out of them??
I have been wondering the same thing. Where did all the visas go? Some statistics on CIS website did not seem to indicate that many EB numbers were used last year. So weird!!! :confused:
Maybe as someone said, they just did not want to work. If they make visas unavailable, no case would be counted in the backlog queue and they will therefore meet their "blacklog reduction" target as published earlier???
Bottomline, looks like the new adminstration is no better than the old one to legal EB immigrants, although they have suspended raid on illegals. This is just getting better and better. :rolleyes:

to put numbers to your guess, I am guessing roughly even at an optimistic approach, 1000 applications from EB3-I from 2002 may have ported to eb2 or left the country and nothing more than. Why not we do these guys. just a IV sampling poll. Lets create a poll for IV members alone, for eb3-I alone. Lets give all the 12 months as option, and people can update. We can atleast know how many cases are waiting in eb3-I from IV alone for the year 2002. What say you guys? any one wants to take up the initiative? We can also Add an option additionally for 2003 cases and so forth as one option. Our goal is to find how many of us here in IV are waiting with 2002 PD for eb3-I.
Why did they waste 500 EB3I last year. What makes them approve EB3 at that slow rate. All the cases are at NSC for 10 years. Why the ##&( they are issuing 1 year EAD for EB3I. There is no FIFA or whatever it is. How can TSC approve all cases at such a fast rate and NSC sits on them till the processing time is crossed and wait for a SR .

I will back you up on this:)
Unless one has studied in the US, one will not realize the worth of the US educational system. One clear attribute of US educated professionals is their superior written and verbal communication skills. Not to mention the enhanced ability to culturally fit in a diverse environment.
Unintentional, might be, but you did ruffle this topic of US Master's vs US Non-Master's with this rather sad comment (warm spit!). I dont want to go much further into this either but talking about something that you obviously dont know (useless subjects 'assembly language programming'), you havent added any valule addition here either. (Just FYI, even during peak recession, ppl with ALP skills were really very few because most of the direct recruits from '6 month NIIT courses' werent upto system level programming).
And btw, if think that a 6 month course in NIIT with a degree in tier 3 university is going to help get a job during times of recession, then i dont know what to tell you.
Yes, i do have an MS degree from the US and i did suffer lay-off during recession - bounce back, i did really quickly while i saw few ppl that only had '6 month courses from NIIT' suffer for long times without a job because all they had to offer was that...their six month experience at NIIT!!
Btw, i do appreciate all the work that you do and all your postings too, but i felt that i had to give a riposte to something that i find insinuating and written without a whole lot of thought....

I am jumping ahead of the situation here, but I just wanted to see what other members think/know. Assuming that the 90K visa recapture happens, It doesnt take too long for them to be used up in the current situation where there are a lot of people with labors and approved 140's (w/PERM). Not every one will have an oppurtunity to file for a new labor and file for 485. If DOS makes the PD's current / post Mar 2005, wouldn't it be unfair to people who labors are pending for 3 yrs. How does this work out in the previous recapture? HLG doesnt say about numbers being forwarded to the next year though.

1. Can we move from CA to TX after I-485/EAD/AP is filed from California?
You can move but are you changing employment? If yes, AC21 kicks in only after 180 days after filing 485, assuming 140 is approved.
2. We do have a PO address is Texas now and have an apartment in CA for next 5 months.
Do you recommend to use the Texas PO Box address instead of California Apartment address for USCIS I-485 application such that we can avoid the Change of Address with USCIS later?
Check with lawyer, you can change the address later. But I think your move is too soon, so again check with lawyer.
3. What are RISKS of moving from state to state during I-485 process? Did anyone do that in this forum?
People have done this before but again check with lawyer, your move seems to be too soon

Perhaps we can refer USCIS to some of the rogue lawyers we deal on a daily basis. They will have to talk to the lawyer's paralegal, get an appointment to talk to the lawyer after 48 hours and get a lousy half ass written response prepared and that too a week late.

I arrived at the Situation Room at about 1 pm on Monday.. didn't know anybody and nobody knew me so I was searching for a Core IV type look on anybody's face... Poor 'beenwaiting' was eating her late lunch at what seemed like a registration table and she noticed my dillema.. she promptly put her lunch aside and briefed me on the agenda and my meetings.. Thanks 'beenwainting'...
Next I remember was helping Sanjeev (can u PM me your handle?) with his tie and hurrying with Shivkanth and Sumita (can you PM me your handle too?) to a Senator's meeting. That Senator's staff knew the issues pretty well and it was fun to watch Shivkanth debate with her.
SriKondoji - it was nice meeting you. The reception and the rally next day were a great experiences. Finally I had some great Indian food at the Union Station with Indio0617, Pappu and Dr. Gupta (can u PM me your handle?)
All PA (Philly) members - let's plan on meeting over coffee sometime in the next couple of weeks.
Here are the photos that I tool to 'live blog' the rally:
http://picasaweb.google.com/getrajesh/DCRallyImmigrationVoice
The experience of attending the rally was therapeutic in a way... Day in and day out one is sucked in to the bubble of daily life, work, kids, family..... and on top of it, the thought of interminable wait for GC really burns you from inside. You know you have to go through it and you know there are thousands like you who are stuck too. And then one fine day, these thousand faceless online handles come to life together and in the nation's capital and actually march and meet the lawmakers. This has truly been a great experience.
