You can just take the 5-10 lines from the report which shows wasted visa numbers from the past years and send it to all lawmakers from all states asking for visa number recapture legislation
I think its just one small paragraph the lawmakers have to insert - They can attach it to any major upcoming bill - This does not create additional numbers or change the existing laws in a big way.
Here is the ombudsman report (Refer page 47)

Does CPO status on USCIS site mean 485 is approved? or is there some hidden processing going on, which can turn the tables??
Just skeptical.
btw, I forgot to mention. I thank the IV members for their invaluable guidance. Will continue being a regular member.

I just called them now. I was lucky enough to talk to the operator. She said I should be getting it in a week. I guess they have a back log. She couldn't tell me anything else. BTW my application was received on Sep 11th. Money order was cashed on Sep 23rd. Still in process not shipped yet. I called 713-626-2148 and pressed 1 then 9 and when it asked for voice mail or operator I pressed 0 for operator. I kept pressing 0 until someone answered.

Can i file it myself ? i did talk to a lawyer and she said we need a document from a company saying that the position is still open before we can file I485 by myself.
Thanks
Unfortunately your lawyer is correct. You can't file 485 (even if you have copies of labor certification or I-140) on your own without a letter from your current employer explicitly stating that the position posted in labor certification will be open at the time when you get your green card.

There are lot of support and response for this thread and can Core IV team consider this to be included in their Phase 2 campaign?. It will be an added feature for our to be legal immigrant community. ^^ Bump^^
Great Idea. Since this is Saralayar brain child, let us all nominate him/her to lead this venture , while us IV followers pursue more servile task's like trying to recapture visa numbers, get multi year EAD's and basically save our B*^$'s.
If this venture is a success Saralayar will be a citizen in a year (along with a few side kicks that are backing this new citizenship concept) or so and then he/she can push congress to pass the other minor legislation that will bail the rest of us out.

When I spoke to the IO they told me that they have received my "approved" FP on 7/22
thanks, hopefully, we will all get our EAD's shortly. Keeping my fingers crossed. :-(.

Will contribute again.
Even thinking most selfishly I can only think that contributing to the Advocacy Efforts will only save me money in the long run. Just imagine if I get my GC one year earlier due to these efforts - How much I will save -
No EAD for me and wife - Savings of $340 per year
No AP for me, wife and Son - Savings of over $1020 a year ( I always apply for AP
every year bcos I can't imagine being stuck here if there is an emergency back home)
This amount is only for one year - if GC drags ( most likely will.. without Advocacy) - do the math.
I feel contributing couple of hundred dollars is the least I can do.
I sincerely urge everybody to contribute whatever amount they can small or big -
Little drops of water make a mighty ocean (cliched it might sound but sums it up perfectly)
Just think you and your family had dinner at a restaurant this week. :)

i don't get it you are saying that members don't have to search...and yet someone has to keep it up on the home page...which is it? yes a sticky thread would have saved work and not required someone to keep it up. Why wasn't it done in the first place. When a service is supposed to be offered every week...it should be offered every week...or else there should be an announcement that is will not be offered this particular week and that it will continue next on said week.
No reason to be frustrated when people are asking simple questions...another idea would be to put the answers to the most frequently asked questions on the FAQ page...which does not work right now....so that you don't have to repeat the answers.
Its an easy solution i think.
Giving a long lecture of frustration is not the best way to attract people to an organisation.
Think about it...do u go buy clothes from a store that voices their frustrations about the prices of raw material...of do u go buy it because they were nice to you...had great customer service...nice selection of goods...and fair prices.
I am sorry but working for hours on end alone, voicing frustration at lack of participation, treating members like they are morons for not being able to find supposedly simple things is a really terrible way to attract more people to an organisation. The cause may be noble...but who will wanna join some organisation where people just complain about how miserable things are.
Please pause for a moment and think about what i am saying. This is exactly why you have less participation and less donation. IV needs to transform into a vibrant fun place to be while still upholding the noble cause.
This is just unbelievable nitpicking. Completely unproductive.
A "grassroots" organization like IV is what its members come to the table with - making it fun etc. is also dependent on the members - not some specific, designated individuals.

I E-Filed my 2nd EAD Renewal on 04/30/2010 and when answering the current immigration status in E Filing application as there is no appropriate option I left Blank and submitted. This is my second E-Filing , when I was first filed renewal this question is not there.
After a week I sent my photos along copy of 485 Receipt, copy of I 140 approval receipt, previous copies of EAD & copy of Driving License with a covering letter saying that I left the �current immigration status� filed is blank on the online form and I mentioned my current immigration in the covering letter as � Pending I-485 based authorized stay�.
Yesterday I got the email from USCIS �On May 20, 2010, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.�
( First time I got one year, when renewal lost time I got two years, this 2nd Renewal).

Like I said you can start at the same pace as you normally walk from your car to your office. Do that for 20 mins or 30 minutes this week and we will increase the pace very slowly and add a few minutes each day. Also always listen to your body and do what your body can. it is very important to respect our body's limitations. I have learnt that the hard way
Yeah I started off faster than normal and for the last five minutes I did a stroll.. Its gone now, I don't feel it anymore.

I agree totally!! I understand the need for IV not to lobby for just one community EB2 or
EB3...but the fact is that all we see is movement in EB2 and no to very little movement in EB3....the most retrogessed and most in need community is EB3...
For new people like us, how do we get motivated for donation and all these things when we see rest of the people who are doign this still waiting for months to see some light at the end of the tunnel??
I think what would help is an action plan by IV stating what they would be doing in weeks or months to come....
may be do a campaign like a flower campaign or something to really get the attention if not this beginning of next year, when we think that CIR may be moving....
I think we are lacking an action plan here....and may be thats what we need for new people to get motivated towards....
Mr. Pagal,
Its very unfortunate, that most of us are very active only when a Visa Bulletin is released, bickering about EB1, EB3, EB1 etc. Then the topic dies until the next visa bulletin is released.
There are plenty of action items to do, have you checked those, I recommend you do that ASAP. Mind that the IV core also has a professional and personal life, no one pays them to do what they do at IV. Simply pointing fingers at others will not help with our cause. Contributing some $$ is also an action Item, I suggest you start with that.
Have a good one!!

On a related note, free riders may not be checking this forum. The title says that this is of no interest to them.
I agree, titles like "H4 to H1", "Changing Employers", "Urgent question" etc. etc. will obviously be visited more.
May be a gentle reminder about contributions in other topics would help.
How sad it is that we don't get support from our own.

Thanks - I guess that's good advice.
Btw, do I need to send the original passport with the application?
Yes, you will need to send the original passport along with the filled in application...Since the passport is expired for over an year, check this out:
Quote:
When should you apply for the new passport?
i) Apply for reissue of Passport if the final (F) validity is less than one year. For example, if your passport is expiring on 31st Dec. 2008, you can apply for a new passport from 1st Jan. 2008 onwards.
ii) The Passport should be renewed within one year of its expiry. If for any reason you have delayed applying for a new passport beyond one year after expiry of your passport, an affidavit stating the reason for delay sworn before a Notary or a Consular Officer should be submitted along with the application.

Is this IV approved? Please do not jeopardize by asking for things using IV letterhead/interface that have not been approved by the IV team............. There is too much at stake for the people who are still in line for GC (let alone citizenship)
I think there is no hard in doing so. Its part of the overall agenda.
