He is from CA...not sure where this came from...looks like political posturing but good to know someone trying to address EB backlogs...I'm sure that IV leadership is aware of this development - thanks for sharing!

Can you stop your f*** mouth?. Are you educated and have ethics?. If you do not like this idea get out of this thread. There are people who give good suggestions and welcome this idea. I am seeing all your posts in this forum. You are a bullshit guy by nature. Get lost.
IV admin, please ban this guy (supplychainwalla) from all the forums. we do not need such perverted broots in the high skilled forum.
Watch your language pal.FYI I am highly educated,and that is reflected in my thoughts and my words,not to mention my motive to discredit ideas that will not fly.Also,you need to work on your language construction skills and English, and then may be you can come up with ideas benefit a community such as IV.

I filed for my wife's EAD in the late May (e-file TSC).
Receipt date is May 29th.
Soft LUD on June 6th
FP done on June 21st
no updates, no changes after that. there is no LUD after FP. It's been 66 days since filed. Does any one know if I can take Infopass appointement before I complete 90 days of pending status and see what's going on? Or do I have to wait until 90 days are complete? any experiences?
EFiled on 29th May and still waiting. Opened a SR yesterday and lets see what happens.
The good thing is now we are seeing some approvals, so i think everything is back moving again.
GO IV GO.
How to open the SR akhilmahajan? Is it same as the Infopass appointment?
Also, there is no LUD after FP in my case. Does that mean that TSC has not received FP results yet? The post by kartikiran on the same page shows that FP was done on 5/13 but the LUD was on 7/20 when TSC received FP. I suspect the same has happened in my case. Should I check with the FP office?
please give your thoughts..

You made very good points. May I suggest we ask members to call on the phone too if they're busy? This actually worked in delaying the first Bailout in 2009, when they received numerous calls.
Customer service reps do this for hours everyday in some places.
We have had phone and email campaigns in the past. Phone campaigns work the best when a specific bill is being debated and there is the target 2-3 days campaign. The rest of the time, person-to person presentation is the best.

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.

Thanks santb1975 & NolaIndian for creating this. I am going to ask a friend who ran half marathon last year. I am still contemplating whether I will be able to keep the commitment, since the only exercise I do is walk to and from my car :D

News from Oh Law:
05/18/2008: Frustrated Hispanic Caucus Exploded on the Door Step of Congress
Report indicates that they've held a press conference on the steps of a House office building to denounce their leadership's willingness to cater to immigration critics by holding hearings on enforcement measures proposed by endangered Democratic moderates. Rep. Joe Baca, chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, was steamed. Latinos had become a political "punching bag" this year, the California Democrat complained recently, attacked by "the misinformed" and "the misguided." They've threatened to block progress on immigration proposals backed by business interests and pushed by key Democrats, such as special visas for high-tech workers or agricultural help, unless leaders also move forward with comprehensive immigration legislation. Lawmakers in the 20-member Hispanic Caucus know they are not going to get their political wish this year: another shot at comprehensive immigration legislation, something that died in the Senate last year. But they are frustrated that their party has not been aggressive at pushing back against the heated rhetoric of the Right. If alienated Latinos stay home from the polls in November, it could cost Democrats dearly in closely contested local elections in Texas, Arizona and other states. And if Hispanics conclude that their party is no different on immigration than Republican presidential candidate John McCain � a longtime supporter of comprehensive reform� it could tip the balance to the GOP in presidential contests in swing states such as New Mexico, Nevada and Colorado.
The CHC has a single point agenda and that is amnesty for illegals. They feel that if they have the issues for legal immigrants tied along with this, they can try to obtain this amnesty in the guise of "comprehensively reforming the entire US immigration system". They are single minded and will not waver because of repeated communication from us legal immigrants. We are not a consideration for them and they will do their best to torpedo our bill. I think a better plan would be to target all the other legislators and let them know how we feel and how important this bill is for us future citizens. This is just my opinion and is not intended to demoralise anyone or hamper this campaign.

add to that aman's lost bags and cell phone and constant attempts to call akhil to retrieve his wallet...poor akhil arrived back huffing and puffing and in mortal panic...later we discovered we had his home phone number and had been leaving messages on it for 2 days...and wondering why in the world he would not pick his phone up!
It was a unique situation.........
me and my wife were coming back from a lawmakers meeting and found that Aman was waiting for his wallet as the luggage was in my car...........
while walking fast she scratched her ankle badly and was not able to walk properly............ so i made her sit at an intersection and ran towards the hotel............ then had to rush back to get her, as i had asked to her wait at an intersection....
was fun and by the time i reached back i was like all huffed/puffed up and she was laughing at me...........

Dear friends,
The next session of congress is almost upon us. Nothing will be achieved without funds, please open your hearts and wallets and contribute now. Remember, we are in the fight of our lives, a half hearted effort will condemn us to more of the same.
Please contribute and post here to encourage others as well.
I have sent my third contribution of $100 a few minutes ago. Please join me.
With enough money and enough effort, not to mention excellent leadership, we will surely succeed.
Thank you all for heeding this appeal :-)
Thanks Pascal, we also need more members

Lets look at Rep. Smith - Reclaim American Jobs Caucus | Congressman Lamar Smith (http://lamarsmith.house.gov/Issues/Issue/?IssueID=14781)
border control, we are against amnesty. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Provide solutions, if not a path towards legalization with due fines, what alternative do you suggest?
what do you think?
Good question.
The first point is illegals have to be paid at american laborer wages. They are currently dragging down labor wages. if the wage is monitored like H1b and set by the govt, enough american citizens of the 15 million unemployed, will take these jobs and illegals will have to leave.
Most people may not know, there are millions of American farmers, roofers, etc, who can't find a job because of illegals. We compete with americans at the same salary and with the disadvantage of visa overhead.
Not enough money? This is a big misconception and false statement thrown out by supporters of illegals. here are a few numbers thrown quickly:
a) It costs 1.5 billion dollars a year to put one armed soldier on every 100 yards of the border. Employment for 30,000 in the army.
b) it costs about 1 billion to deport 1 million illegals by plane. Do this for 2 years and enough will leave on their own.
These costs are trivial compared to a 2 Trillion annual budget and b) is a one time cost if we have a). Billions will be saved in welfare, housing, food stamps, education.
protecting the border is as important as fighting wars, which have already cost 100s of billions, if not more.
Will talk about H4 later, but the motto has always been - 'best person for the job' at legitimate American wages.

I would say 90 % in the same boat :p No sweat. They will do an immunization test. You could even get the vaccinations taken
But some of those vaccinations require a 90 days period don't they? ( Like Hep-B if I am right, may be not!!!) :confused:

I read that there are 2800 EB3-I visas a year, or about 233 visas per month. Assuming there are about 700 numbers available for the rest of the year 2010, using the data in the latest May-2010 I485 inventory, the calculation is pretty straight n easy with no spillover calculations involved ... here is a possible progress of the PD:
Sep-2010 : 10-Dec-2001
Sep-2011 : 31-May-2002
Sep-2012 : 15-Sep-2002
Sep-2013 : 01-Jan-2003
Sep-2014 : 01-Apr-2003
From there on the numbers are huge per month - about thousand pending 485 per month ... it'll continue at less than snail pace :D

I'm not saying anything for the EB2 people...I'm saying EB3 is not moving compare to EB2.
Looking at the above table....I'm windering why we are not getting many approvals for EB3 as compared to EB2???
I can Understand why EB3 is in 2001 and EB2 in 2006... but we should get atleast same number of approvals right????
In that very less decrease in EB3 numbers, most of them are because of EB3->EB2 move,,,,,,
If this is the case, then Whencan i expect GC with EB3.... I may stop thinking about GC in near future.

It was merely an expression. I am sure you guys get the point.
Hangin there. 2004 will be cleared soon. If not this month, next month.
While the wait has been frustrating, the general wisdom hasn't been lost! Certainly GC isn't everything.
Anyways, thanks for the encouraging note.
