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:

gc chahiye.. both polls were excellent.. can you redo them and see if we can get a larger sample size?
I wonder how many of the PD earlier than 2003, I-485 filed and 2004 PD, I-485 filed and 2005 PD, I-485 filed must have gotten gcs in the july fiasco.

For your PD and EB category, you are able to enjoy 4 years of AOS benefits just because of IV. You will soon get your GC, only because of IVs continuous fight with CIS.. But hey you won't see it because it all happens behind the scene and someone else is picking your tab...
Such people come running to IV if they get a denial/ NOID and lose hope. Rt. now they are busy tracking their cases, predicting and hoping to be current in a month or two. People who feel the pain of retrogression value what we do for them.

I know there are plenty of suggestions flying around and here is my 2 cent, it may or may not make too much sense, but here it is.
We can rant about the difficulties of not getting a GC, make emotional pleas of our struggles all day, but nothing talks better than money. In the current scenario nothing will grab more attention if you can show how we contribute to the US govt and the US economy in monetary terms. Nothing else will get the attention of these lawmakers like money can. ;-)
Can we put out some numbers for the lawmakers, in terms of our contribution to federal & state taxes, social security, property taxes and overall economy by way of our purchasing power home, cars, appliances, vacations, etc (all the amount that you spend in the US) and multiply these numbers by the number of folks waiting to get GC or who have the GCs. I am sure when you add all this up it will be a significant number, which is bound to catch some attention. Assuming the majority of us make more than the average American, all these figures will definitely standout.
Also propose a one time fee of $10,000 to apply for GC right away. I am willing to pay this fee if USCIS can grant me a GC or provide us a way to stay and work legally in this country with no tie in to the employer. This could be a significant amount of revenue, especially when all lawmakers are looking to reduce the deficit and raise some income. As it is they are regularly increasing the visa fees to pay for some bill to the other like the 9/11 workers healthcare bill, etc. If a 100,000 folks(not sure how many are there in total) like us cough up $10,000 that could equal 1 billion. May seem small amount compare to the US deficit, but when you add up our total contribution it is significant. This may be totally outlandish, but I think something on this line is worth talking about. Like I said, nothing talks better than money.
Not sure if there have been other similar ideas, but if we can compile a few pages of such information with numbers, graphs, comparative charts etc and hand them out to the lawmakers it may help.
Comments and feedback welcome. May be this is totally a dumb idea, but if the admins think it makes sense willing to discuss and prepare something. Also this post is not meant to begin a debate or to distract us from our goal but just some thoughts.
PS: Have contributed in the past and intend to participate (financially and in person) on the Advocacy day.

Congrats. Where was you application filed? TSC/NSC and your receipt dates?
NSC. 485 filed during the july'07 and rcvd date was in aug'07, notice date was in sept'07. For me start to end time was 5yrs. First job, single LC, i140, 485 appln...Kind of straight-forward (boring ;) ) case.

No, your contributions are not tax deductible, we are a 501(c)(4) non profit.
Even though our organization helps a large number of people, since lobbying might be upto 100% of our expenses, we're not considered as a charitable organization. Read more about this at the IRS website. So we're applying for 501(c)(4) status instead of 501(c)(3) status. Hence no contributions to Immigration Voice are not tax deductible.

Can anyone please shed some light on the costs involved in a medical examination?
It varies depending on the physician. I paid $475 for everything blood work to test immunizations + TB test + Physical exam. This is for one person.
Same physician, my friend went with all medical records and she charged only $250 for doing physical and TB test.
I got the report with in 3 days. Hope this helps. Good luck.

if you pay $90 extra, they will process it the same day. you can add $20 extra to get it overnight if you dont want to wait in the consulate. They are very friendly. I got it same day shipped out. All that you need is to pay more money (ofcourse this money goes to govt of india, not to the employees work there :) )

Hi,
I have entered US on H4 and then I got my H1. I wanted to go to Mexico for my H1 stamping as I have to go to my home country and come back. When I saw my paystubs I found that the SSN number on my paystubs was not correct. I verified with my employer and he says it was his mistake.
Can we correct and regenrate the paystubs with correct SSN. Will these paystubs cause a problem for me during my stamping in mexico. I started working only 7 months ago and I do not have W2 till now. Please advice on how to deal with this.
Its not a big deal. I am surprised, why they even print SSN on your pay-stub. That practice is long gone, because of all the identity theft issues. I dont have my SSN on my paystubs.
Just ignore it....and if they ask, just say "Oh!! I didn't realize that...i'll have to ask the company HR to rectify the error..."

This has become a ranting thread of EB3 folks. One simple question:
How many of you EB3 India folks who are complaining actually went to Washingtno DC last month for IV Advocacy event?
I hear it was not even 250 people. If you take out all EB2 people, so few EB3 people. This means EB3 people do not really want to do anything but after every visa bulletin come to the site and rant.
We in EB2 do not have much to worry. Our dates will move fast. But you EB3 had a chance last month and you blew it by not doing anything. So stop complaining.
I dont think we all are complaining...We are just thinking out loud hopefully some solution / direction comes out of it. But one thing is sure people certainly did not like your attitude.. It could be that you are deliberately trying to instigate something just for fun or maybe you are having a bad moment or may be none of these, I was just trying to think the rationale behind your comments ...(could be even u just stated something and people didn't understand whatever u really meant and applied thier own interpretation)...only u or god knows the truth...I dont have anything against u and know for sure that even u dont have anything against us.

You can send 2 x 2 photo.. they will cut and make it like a 3.5cm x 3.5cm Or you can use epassportphoto dot com to get yourself a 3.5cm x 3.5cm passport photos for less.
I have to mail my application to cgi houston for my passport renewal. can anyone answer the following:
are they strict regarding the photo size of 3.5cm by 3.5cm?I have few old passport size photos of 2 by 2 inches and am thinking of using them.
Which address (India or US) should I mention in the application form?
Do I have to notarize my H1B approval notice and other documents that I mail to them?
thanks in advance.

I am little confused. As your wife is already in legal status (h4) till 09/2007, why do you want another extension when you switch job? As far as I know (I had similar situation in 2003), you can transfer your H1 to new employer and before her H4 expires, apply for extension with your new H1B (it may not be required even as she has already applied for H1). Once, I did exactly same when I switched job and I didn't had any legal problem with my wife/daughters' H4 extension.
Still I suggest you consult an attorney.
Best of luck.

Dear Chris_Rock, GC_Check, trueguy, 485Mbe4001 and others
Happy to see you debating healthy discussions. No flames. This is a mature discussion unlike recent past.
Yes, ONLY we EB3's need to be serious.
I agree that CIR is impossible till March 2011. If one sees Americaworker.org ads in TV, I do not think law makers will listen to us. EB2 is placed in queue nicely.
Let us debate decently and do not respond to people that start flames.
Thanks to all of you.

Hi Everyone
Finally i got the email saying card production ordered on May 10th. My priority date is Ju26th 2006 , EB2. Thank You IV , Aman , Anu, Himanshu, Gopal and all other IVans for the help and most importently Aman for forming IV and giving us a forum to congregate and fight for our cause.
I am donor member since 1.5 yrs, was a member of advocacy day event last year. This april i could not take part because of a family emergency back home. IV has helped me immencely both informationwise and also psychologically during days of regression.
I will continue to be DONOR member in the future as well. I hope that will help other IVans.
I wish you all best of luck in your wait.
Thanks

It's extremely difficult, if not impossible to maintain PR status in both US and Canada due to the residency requirements. Once you get your US GC the best thing to do is to abandon your Canadian PR if you intend to live in the US and make your home here. Frankly I don't see any benefit of mainatining your Canadaian PR. If you try to do that it might even jeopardize your GC. Google and you will find lots of advice on this issue. I plan to live and work here in the US.
Thanks Lasantha. Yes, I have been reading a lot on google about it. Some readers also suggested landing and come back using AVR as I have a valid HIB approval but still I am not feeling comfortable doing it. I guess I will not land there. My whole process until 485 went very smooth, I am in ROW category, and hope all goes well till approval. I am also planning to stay in US.
Damn, this whole thing is giving me headache now :confused:
