Having spoken with several congressional aids I can say that such issues are well received. The specific issue that I have raised (it does not affect me) is examples of people leaving USA and having to explain to their US born children why mummy and daddy are not welcome in the USA, and thus why they have to grow up in a foreign country.
I have also given examples of one sibling being born in USA and other aging out.
However, I have only raised this where law makers are known to be sympathetic to family immigration, e.g. support DREAM.
I think that the best we can do is:
Get wait times down (and reduce impact of this).
Use this as an argument with those who support family based immigration (and may even be hostile to EB otherwise).
If we have an opportunity to address this as part of other EB legislation we can.
It is certainly not forgotten by me.
I do think that it would be helpful to have a list of people in IV with this problem (with ages of all children plus relevant dates). For the moment I'm too busy to organize this (busy with IV work -- like 4am bed times).
More active help (not just forum discussion) with IV is always welcome, so you are welcome to step up and help (e.g. compiling a list of such members etc.). Politics is personal so being able to present personal cases is helpful.
Hi Mark
It would be helpful if you could list/post any congressmen or senators you have found to sympathize so we can contact them and give us any pointers in anyway

I think my efforts last week resulted in adding 4 new members. I will be contacting 10 others and actually sitting down with them to help them become a IV member. I will post as soon as I register one more member.

Sure. Thanks for the replies.
But are you saying that both of my above strategies are valid? I remember reading somewhere that one cannot be in I-485 on two applications. Please clarify.
Thanks,
Jayant

I paper filed EAD to AZ drop box on Mar 27th. I have not received receipt. Also check is not cashed.
I agree, it is taking too much time, compared to previous applications.
I am still waiting for check to be cashed or receipt.
I think, I made a mistake of paper filing. I should have done e-filing.

Mr. Nathan I have a great deal of respect for you and all those who have committed themselves to driving IV and all activities it is doing. But what you understood from my post is entirely wrong, and I have to explain why, because if this is the misconception you are having, not about me in particular but everyone who is not involved, then it definitely needs answers.
As I already clarified, I had stopped worrying about GC, long time ago, not after getting EAD.
I bought a house when I didn't even start my current GC process.
I went to India (Chennai) in my 7th year for H1 extension stamping (after completing 6 yrs of H1 and before I even filed 485). I didn't postpone it till I got EAD.
I left my employer who had filed for my labor in 2004 because he started acting up at the end of my project and started GC process with new employer well into my 6th year.
I do understand some people run to IV only in time of need. But all I am saying is not to paint everyone with same brush. Even if you think about people who want anything to do with IV only when there is need, lets try winning them over rather than stating the obvious and ridiculing them.
rkg000,
I don�t have anything personally against you. For the last couple of years things have changed dramatically for the worst. If you are on H1B you are facing lots of hardship and it doesn�t matter even if you are genuinely employed and in status. They used to ask only for client letters and now it is laundry list. Till 2007 things were different.
All the information is available in the IV's about page or wiki. There are people who genuinely do not have much info but there are people who do not want to participate. Because it�s not going to help them immediately until it�s going to bite them. Until then they do not see the value for their investment.
The frustration and disappointment is about them. You cannot wake up a person who is just pretending.

Hello
I am confused about CSPA
My child will turn 21 march 2009, currently on EAD from the I485 filling in July 07, I140 approved in July 07, PD is Feb 07. I have not received any letter from USCIS about the immigration age of child being locked in at filling. Where does my child stand now?.

u mean the old Passport ? Yes, my old one was issued in India (vizag).
renewal applied by mail to CG SFO, got the new one to my mailing address in US, on the fifth day.
the 10 days estimate they are giving might be including the buffer time for contingencies and
contacting vizag might be the worst case scenario they are telling, but most probably not needed.
i later learned that, u can renew ur PP in India in 3 days, with Tatkal.
Thanks a lot..u give me hope...was a little worried after the counter lady said it might take time, seeing visakhapatnam..ie in case they dont get a response...
My passport was issued in the yr 2000...so was not sure if the records wud be available online..wat abt urs?
Thanks once again...

Please do update me change of status. I am also facing problem with 29th March delivery.

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.
