You are not alone. This might help (posted by IV member never_give_up:
To all others like me, who are hesitant and are not sure about the talking points. Below is something that can help.
You would most likely be talking to a person taking messages and not the congressman/woman directly.
And you also dont have to explain them the details of the bill, as they are very well aware of it. All you have to tell them is it is about HR5882.
After one or 2 calls, my message was standardized and this is what I used in all the calls.
Good Morning. I am calling in regards to the bill HR5882. (Pause for the other person to give you a go ahead and then continue). I would like to express my support for the bill and would like to request the support of Congressman/woman for the bill. If you can pass the message to the Congressman/Woman, that will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You and have a Great Day.
Some of the offices will ask you for your phone number and address, go ahead and give it to them. No harm.
And some might ask you where you are calling them from. My reply to them was - I am calling from the state of VA. I also reached out to my district's congressman, but also wanted to request the support of Congressman XXXX and so am calling your office.
I was initially hesitant and was not sure as to how to put it together, but it was real eazy and quick. After some calls, I even called up people who do not suppor this like Steve King, etc. It was only a matter of a call and letting them know our opinion. All that I lost was 2 minutes of my time and no money for my unlimited phone plan.
Not sure how much help it will be, but surely cannot hurt. It would atleast draw their attention due to the large call volume. Yes, some offices told me that they were receiving lot of calls for this bill.
So go on... do your part.

I don't disagree with any of the statements.. It is totally personal decision for someone to donate or not.
I agree that there is no silver bullet in any analysis. It is a number crunching game.. What is important is follow-up after analysis, which is only possible with IV.
Dems want votes and more Hispanics
GOP want more temps since it is very good for business
Lawyers want more money so they are not interested in solutions. They are in it for money
Individuals want their greencard just in time and not worry about the guy right behind them..
tracker websites need traffic to get money from adds, so they don't want solution..
Thanks I appreciate your follow-up. My response was more for those people whose only objective seems to be to denigrate others (Name calling - Freeloader etc) and divert everyone from the topic.

I cannot name any lawyers in my post, so I leave it up to you whether to treat this as serious advice or not...
My lawyer says USCIS does not allow one person to be represented in more than one 485 applications....whether the person is primary or beneficiary.
My wife's lawyer (I won't name this lawyer either) says there is no prohibition on filing multiple 485s.....however, it's just a waste of money (her opinion).
Thanks,
Jayant

Ask them to connect you to the head/Senior executive. I did the same thing with my local cable+phone and was connected to a the head of their customer Service. That person connected me to more senior marketing person. That marketing person called me and emailed me to discuss. The company had no idea about Vonage plan and seemed unprepared to have a strategy to stop the exodus of its customers to Vonage.
All of you can do the same. When more people do it, it will generate market demand and customer demand that money hungry capitalist companies cannot ignore. If you do not do it, then one company will have monopoly over this market.
I just talked to one of teleblend rep (live chat on their website, very easy to do and I can do this during lunch time from office). The guy said they are working on something but was not providing any time line or details. I told him to hurryup else I will switch. Looks like we need more teleblend customers contact them to get this done faster. Guess they are waiting to see what effect or how many customers actually switch to vonage. Teleblend must offer $20 world plan in order to stay afloat in competition. I say this as they now offers $15 unlimited us-canada Vs. vonage $25 unlimited us-canada plan so far.

I was planning to get my h1b visa revalidation done at Chennai end of Jan '08.
Can anyone who goes for H1b revalidation post their experiences?
is this showing any signs of improvement?

To quote it in a much broader sense, America is not the end of the world - period! Just take it easy and enjoy life...don't freak out if the visa bulletin updates and you don't get to file your 485...we are all in this country by our free will..if we feel the rules of the land are not fair to us..each one of us is free to leave....
On another front, if this actually does happen, I will be the first person to sue USCIS for all the expenses, lost time and headaches that I incurred in preparing the 485 application...I think USCIS can't get away without reimbursing everyone for all of the above...
Agreed it is not the end of the world... but no monetary sum can reimburse the stress we've gone through and going through, the number of years worrying, the numerous decisions we've deferred, the immobility of career we've gone through... just in anticipation. They just brought all these people to the well to quench their thirst only to find out that it's but dried up.

VERY GOOD START. Thanks. Atlast, I am getting lot of positive comments and thoughts about the Citizenship. Let every one start working on this. Please post your response from your Senetor on your call.
Sarala,
Good job in creating the thread. Around the time when you started this or little before I too created one more asking Citizenship (I'm sure many more might have, too), but I would like to push your thread just to not divert attention to too many spots.
We will make next week as a "WEEK OF ACTION". If you see my other thread ("can we send Pizza" thread) and many others, the common routine is to get many good ideas, but not much action.
We will gather as much support as we can till this weekend and at the same time make sure we consolidate the contact information at one place who to contact, and then starting next week, we can start sending out our message as loud as we can.
We must push for 5 years GC and 10 years Citizenship. I know how much painful it canbe for someone after 11 years waiting for GC, wheras others with 6-7 years in US applying for Citizenship. Not that they got it, but why we did not get it.
And we will focus on points how we can contribute in this crisis.
Others who are directly not benefited by this action:
Please note all your seniors will be out of the queues and you will get your numbers faster.

Saimrathi, you are posting the same message on all threads. Anyway, I am sure some of the media will pick up the story and write about it. I think there are benefits from this campaign. The name Immigration Voice is out there. We may get more members of our community to join us and participate in future campaigns and we can learn from experience on how to carry out future campaigns, protests etc. We had to speak out in some way on what happened to us with the USCIS Visa Bulletin fiasco. I believe it was worth it for all these reasons.

Dear All,
We need to expose the fraudulent EB1 filing by Indian companies! Under the circumstances, I think that this issue is much more relevant now! As such, I would once again like to share the information which I obtained about 6 weeks back from the local Congressman's office.
I was pleasantly suprised to learn that many Indians have been quietly writing about the fraudulent EB1 filing by Indian IT companies to lawmakers! I was told that the local office had received about 50 or so signed (hard copy) letters and that they had subsequently spoken to the INS office about this. It is a good thing that some conscientous Indians are quietly working behind the scenes for the welfare of the community.
Subsequently, I also made a letter on the subject and hand delivered the same the very next day, to the Congressman's office. I then also posted my letter to the Senators of my state.
I once again plead with all fellow EB Indian friends to write letters (please do not Email) about the fraudulent EB1 filings by Indian IT companies (TCS, CTS, L&T-IT, Infosys, Vetri software, et al) to your local congressman / senators. Please also visit your lawmakers to follow up. Personally, I feel that this very very important. IV is there to help us, but all of us must also play a role to get results
It is the strategy that will win the war, not always brute force! We should adopt a multi-pronged attack strategy, realising that each ever visa no. we get is important!
Spending about an hour of your time to write, print, sign and post could save many atleast 2 years of wait time. Did your realize this?
Imagine the impact of 1000s of covers getting dumped in your law makers' offices!
Even lawmaker's offices feel that the impact of printed and signed hard copies is much higher than Emails!
If we are united and focused, we can all win!
GOD bless the EB Community!!!

Filed for EAD for my husband along with the I 485's and have had all receipts, also had fingerprints done already, exactly one month after the receipt date. Sent both entire packets of forms with checks to Nebraska. We did not file advanced parole since I still have a valid H1B and plan to stay in my current job until I get my card. Husband will work on EAD and will not travel until gets his card, no family left in England.
Don't you have to file Advanced Parole for your husband or can he travel just on EAD?

Hi ski_dude,
I also received response to SR for me and my spouse that our cases are under review and allow them 60 days. Did you send an e-mail to TSC after you received the response to SR or before. Also what did you write to them in the e-mail. If you can share that would be great. I am still waiting after becoming current in Sept.
I received a similar response to the 2nd SR. I was told that my case was under additional review and to allow them 60 days. However, my wife's case had been assigned to an officer for review.
Did you send an email to TSC.Ncscfollowup@dhs.gov (for TSC - another email for NSC). I had no clue where my application was when even 2006 cases were getting approved. I am seeing some movement after emailing them.

What are the emails you got? I didn't get any email on I-485 approval. Update me if you get any other correspondence. I will update too.

"Your Case Status: Request for Evidence
On September 10, 2010, we mailed a notice requesting initial evidence in this case. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the evidence requested. Meanwhile, processing of this case is on hold until we either receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires...........

Looks like I have to wait more :D

I'm at a total loss here. My dates became current in June and I was ready with all the paperwork - even filled all the forms myself. Company and their attorneys took their own time and sent the application out only today for Monday delivery... I kept on reminding them what USCIS did to EB-3 other workers.. but all for nothing....... they can just say 'oops sorry' and out lives are screwed!!!
If its mailed out today, then you are ok. Its the POSTMARKED date that is seen. So even if it reaches there in July, as long as it went OUT today, they will have to accept it under June's batch of applications coz it is postmarked in June (june 29).
