"It has also come to my attention that USCIS began returning visa numbers to the State Department as early as Thursday, July 5, 2007, due to their inability to review applications effectively."
http://lofgren.house.gov/PRArticle.aspx?NewsID=1810
Honorable Lofgren had brought about very valid points and it seems too good to be true. (pessimism)
But if this is true We are all in, in next few days. (optimism).
The Twist is if this is true chances are H. Lofgren will cut a deal, remember there are heavyweights on the other side too. Its too embarrasing for all of them. ( realism)
I wish my optimism comes true though, that way I can tell my children when they grow up as to who made the difference and stood up for RIGHT CAUSE and questioned WRONG DOING without fear and that would be Hon. Lofgren.
om namo shivay. (Amen)
BTW our life has been between these three "ism" phases for god knows how long. (anantkaal) - time immemorial

May be we can also try to reduce the retirement benefit age from 65 (or may be 67, or 70 I really don't know, whatever it is) 60. That will be tremendous help for early retirement. What do you say Mr/Mrs. Saralayar?
I am also struggling to get my GC. It is my 9th year in H1B visa. My intention is, atleast we can reduce the period for waiting to get the citizenship. It can also be considered as a good benefit for our community. Just my thoughts...

This is reality, my friend. There are multiple approvals showing up already on other sites.
What matters is "had my approval and even better GC arrived?" . The answer is No, yet. So let's keep the hype down and remember we all have long and will continue, but hopefully our kismat will change. But till than ...

My attorney sent an email inquiry to DOL regarding my case. Within less than 12 hours a response was received -
<BEGINNING>
Case: (A-xxxxx-xxxxx) is still in process and official correspondence will be forthcoming.
Applications are processed in the order they are received. Once the Analyst reaches your case in their queue, based on the principles of FIFO (first in first out) it will be reviewed and official correspondence will be issued.
However, because each application is unique, processing times may vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case.
The policy of the U.S. DOL/ETA National Office prohibits the expediting of applications.
We apologize for the delay.
blah blah...
<END>
It probably wouldn't take them much longer to just approve or deny my case. It's amazing how they are quick with anything that is NOT productive. Don't you just love it when they used the term "FIFO" as though they knew what it really meant? I am a positive person but it's sad and enraging to me that I have to subject certain aspects of my life to a system so dysfunctional and about as modern as Flintstone's automobile. It's said that governments are designed to be bureaucratic, which I do not disagree with. But this system is terribly impaired and down right chaotic from time to time. That is beyond bureaucracy.
Many people in this society sometimes take on a very convenient attitude toward this issue. "If you don't like it you can leave." But on the other hand they turn around and bark just as madly when they think the government is not doing something right that matters to them. This is not about staying or leaving or any other such choices in life. This is about equal rights. This is simply about people getting their jobs done. To what's broken and what's rotten in the immigration system, I say we all work for a paycheck and we all have a job to do. Difference is I make sure I deliver what I'm paid for and you aren't capable of the same. For this reason I'll still be around right here long after you are eliminated and replaced.
Sorry for the 'rant' after I've exercised the only tool available in this situation, email inquiry to DOL, and received a totally meaningless but well expected result. Feel free to do the same then you can post it here so we can compare and see if they made any typo. I doubt they will because it has to be a simple copy-n-paste job...but again with them you never know. :o

Guys,
What do I make out of this? U think once assigned to an officer thgs shud start moving? Or...even after getting assigned to an IO thgs can go bad? Has any thing of that sort also happened? Just curious so I can be prepared...
Thanx
Just back from an Infopass appointment.
The lady was friendly and chked the status of my application. First she informed me that it was under review and then she told me that on Aug 3, it was assigned to an IO. I didn't ask any further questions as the news that my case has been assigned to an officer made me happy. I just wished her a good day and left.
Now, I'm beginning to wonder if I shud have asked more questions such as about Namecheck, FP etc...But I donno its with an IO and I guess I'll know the actual status shortly.

Folks, as a FYI, don't get too bogged down with all the details. Here is my status.
Applied on 3rd march for name correction/reissue of fresh passport.
1) Got a money order for $60
2) Filled out the online form
3) Took copies of relevant pages from passport, license, utility bill.
4) Signed each copy attesting that it is a true copy
5) Took a photo from my digital camera, cropped it on epassport.com and got 8 copies for 20 c. It is true that their scanner blurs the quality of picture, so better have a white background.
6) A couple of email exchanges. This is the best form of communication and I recommend being courteous. Be prepared for vague and sometimes obvious answers.
7) Received new passport on 30th March, although their website says 7 working days.

01-31 09:09 PM
Pappu, I really lost my interest in this. After waiting for so long, I have come to a state where I find this to be not worth it anymore. I don't want to continue with this uncertainity any longer and my children are growing up and I want to move on in my life. Negotiating a good job offer for a good position. Its not that I am going to get my GC in 6 months or let alone in 2 years with a total of more than 8000 people ahead of me. So, I am looking at a minimum of 2 years wait and I do not think its worth waiting any longer. Getting a GC in 3-5 years seems tobe a OK wait, but more than 7 years, I want to use my time in something else more precious. Did not mean to hijack the purpose of this thread, just wrote it because you asked that question.
Sad to see how GC affects people's lives.
You are one of the first few IV members to join when it was formed. You were member number 351 to be precise. Did you ever try EB2 porting? Let us know if you would be interested in any media interview. We get lot of requests from media asking for people who are returning back to their home country after being frustrated from the long GC wait. Good luck and best wishes.

I am not sure how far it is true, but this is the content of the email I got from my attorney when I pressed him to file at the earlierst.
"As soon as we have these forms back, all of the evidence for filing remaining from you, and I review the completed filing, we will file it. We appreciate your interest in filing on the first day the filing allows. We will endeavor to do that. I should point out that the current bulletin allows for filings throughout July. It is possible that the filings could be discontinued later in July. We are in touch with officials in Washington about this issue and will file your application in a timely fashion for obtaining the benefit when the filing is properly prepared."

As some of you know, I have been working with news media, government leaders, and immigration lawyers over the past year because of the stimulus debacle. As a result, I have developed some strong contacts in government. I will be meeting some congressional immigration staffers in the next few days and I have developed a list of issues to discuss. If you want to post your own issues, feel free to do so in this thread and I will add them to the list. These are the same people who helped get the last stimulus bill changed in our favor, so they do have influence.
PLEASE be brief - bullet points would be good.
Also links to articles to support your concerns are welcome. I will put together a package to hand out at the meeting.
I thought of posting a poll on this thread, but decided it would be better to leave the discussion open ended.
WOW!!.. whats a response.. Keep going..
At the same time, keep trying yourselves also by whatever means possible. Totoro is trying so hard for us, and even if we have five guys like this with such contacts, yet the efforts are not sufficient. We must also help ourselves by our individual efforts like writing to change.gov etc.. Lets not put all the 6 pages of ideas in just one basket. Since there is difference between eggs and ideas, duplicate the ideas and put them in other ways also, apart from just here.
Totoro,
Thanks for your efforts.
We all missed one point. Can you please update your profile.
Are Canadians also backlogged in this mess.
And you said "As some of you know...." . Were you try in these lines before too.

Welcome letter says that what I got is a courtesy, original notice has been sent to to attorney. Does it mean the cards will be sent to Attorney as well? My attorney is tough to get hold of, never responds calls or emails.

INS needs money, best strategy stop all 485 for couple of months, let them back log, we will raise the fees exhorbitantly across board to 485/EAD/AP etc, then make everything current, ecpecially INDIA/CHINA that's where the money flow is from, but lets not make it obvious and dubious, we will move forward the dates for couple of years for June and make it current for July (remember July1 is the date new fees kick in), and then make sure everbody files and after 2 months, we will retrogress back to 3 or 4 years back to where we started so that conservative politicians are happy, that way we will have everbody in the INS Casino, no going out, keep renewing by paying more and more fees, INS haapy, I-485 applicants are in make belive happiness as spouces and children get EAD"

when is yr EAD expiring ? what about H1 -- if you have given up that then there is not much that you can do ..other than infopass etc. I think logically speaking ,,I should be getting EAD the fastest (there are few more like me) ..who go card prod ordered in june ..so as soon as I get it ..I will post here.
it seems that this has become #1 issue for many people like me ...
as for me ..I have a plan B ...unpaid vacation ...one of my friends had told me once ...you shd enjoy life along the road and not at the end of it :D ..USCIS is doing that for me
It is expiring on Sep 19th and I dont have H1. Im not concerned about taking unpaid vacation, but the real issue is if my employer will continue to keep me in the job. It would be really scary trying to find a new job in this market. So far I have not alerted or gave any hint to my employer. I will see when the time comes.
But the sad part is that USCIS is working in a erratic way and there is no way to find out what exactly the situation is about a particular case.
Going to infopass is not an easy task as it is 100 miles from where I live and driving to and fro without any kind of hope is useless either.
I will wait for few more days will approach the congressman office and see what they can do.

That's simply incorrect. Since EB-2 India was held up at Jan 2003 from Oct 2005 to June 2007, most EB-2 filers from 2003 and 2004 are still very much out there and waiting. You have to remember that most 2003/04 EB-2 filers from California/NY/NJ/WA were rotting in BEC. High demand states have not approved any labors with 2003-2004 PD's before 2005 when BEC started to approve them. But this was too late as dates were already retrogressed, thus for almost 2 years there was build up for 2003/04 EB-2 cases. I know a lot of them personally.
The only exception to this might be: There were very few cases filed in EB-2 during 2003 and 2004, but that is hard to believe.
This was my complete quot for this particular part of the whole statement.
"The fact is that most of Pre 2004 EB2 lot is already out of the system. Those who are still in are sufferer of namecheck and BECs.There is no perfect mechanism to determine the ratio but I would guess 80% are out from that group." but you somehow conviniently picked up first sentence only.
So I have already mentioned about that. See the problem is that in this foolish system there is no perfect barometer we do have so we can state this will SURELY be a pattern... Yes many are still rotting in not only name check but even in BECs as of today. But most Pre 2004 EB2 lot is out. Now I can not tag a number for "Most"... I think best startegy is to wait for future bulletins. I have already stated my belief and that is with confidence. Does that mean I am trying to say "This will be the only pattern". In case of USCIS nobody can tell that.

If each one of us sends 2 letters out, the total letters would be atleast 400-500. More senators are going to be aware of this mess, and atleast 5-6 of them are going to send inquiries. That would just add up to what is already going on.
