I applied my wife's passport for extension. She has 6 more months on that one. I got the renewal exactly after 3 weeks from CGI-Houston. But the problem is, they gave only 1yr extension. In effect, I got only 6 months extension. I'm glad, atleast they sent it because we already booked the ticket to India in May. I'm not sure why they've given like that. Anyone has any ideas on that one?

Team IV has the support from the Runner's World on-line!! This is an awesome opportunity to get Team IV some press coverage and national recognition for our efforts for the legal community and for our fight to help prevent childhood obesity!
C'mon IVians, with support from running giants like Runner's World, we should step up to the plate (or the start-line) of at least 1 walking/running event with Team IV!
Lets hear it for Team IV!

Yes after Logiclife gave an update I was not anymore excited about it and did not want to loose sleep over it. Thats because I trust IV. But its always good to clear the facts. Anyways, we should keep working for our goal and hope for some improvement in retrogression.
Just kidding with you ..... Jaane de
We all trust them... What I meant was if IV core said then why we increase our anxiety. I have seen many a times that the office people do not know what is going on. They are like the biased media, and utter only those words that they have been given.
Who voted, where attached... current status is far from there reach

Even illigal immigrants has more optimism,
And they actually believe themselves they have every right to become a permanant citizens than legal immigrants waiting in line.
Some folks can't even bear the thought if some one thinks they should try to influence the law makers.

This would actually be a good idea. Then there would be more Visas available. Especially people with US Degrees. Most people with US degrees dont need to work for this fraudulent consulting firms. They are able to find real jobs with real US employers.
Says who?
How do you know that US masters degree dont need to work for consulting firms?
Do US masters degree holders work for Deloitte? IBM Global Services? Accenture? KPMG? Price Water House Coopers?
What about Oracle consulting services? What about TRW? Bearingpoint?
All these are consulting companies or the divisions of consulting companies. Both US degree holders and the non-US degree holding duffers like myself work in consulting firms(I dont anymore since 2003). In fact, I have had my classmates from India have to look for consulting jobs after they did MS in computer science from USA.
You are under the impression that the bill is outlawing desi consulting firms and firms that exploit.
The bill outlaws OUTPLACEMENT. And the bill applies to all firms, desi firms and the big 5 consulting firms and your IBM, TRW ... everyone.
Please read the bill and read the description in the first post.
And although I am the last one to engage in US-degree versus non-US degree and Masters Versus Non-Masters fueds, .
When the market is really bad, like it was in 2001 and 2002, I have seen many Masters degree holders pack up and throw in the towel and I have seen many individuals with degrees from private Tier 3 university from India survive just fine in an environment where there were 80 resumes for each IT job. The US masters degree holders, particularly with computer masters degrees with their courses in useless subjects like "assembly level programming" and their binary math didnt do squat for them while looking for jobs during recession times and could not stand competition from bachelor's degree holders from Tier 3 university from India who had done 6 month course in NIIT.
However if you are proud of your US degree and US masters, suit yourself. But dont say things like "I dont need consulting". Coz you really do and so do thousands of others having US degrees.

We had prepared and Sent this template to our Senator. Please feel free to distribute to yours.
Good Luck.
Good work!
This looks good. However, I think "suggestion" part of this document needs a little bit more elaboration and more specific highlighting of the fact.
Also, not sure. Does this need a bill in congress or admin change? Maybe we discussed this before. The reason for asking is, if it should come from congress, we need to put in more efforts. If its an admin change / fix, I think its a bit easier.
IV: We need your attention.

Do you have any count of how many LC's have been approved with PD between March 28, 2005 to Dec 31, 2005 in the category of EB-3 ROW?
Below is the Count:
PD Approved Approved in Total
in FY 2006 FY 2007
(10/01/05 (10/01/06-
- 9/30/06) 9/30/07)
3/28/05-4/30/05 12 12
5/1/05 - 5/31/05 89 85
6/1/05 - 6/30/05 110 239
7/1/05 -7/31/05 175 334 509
8/1/05 - 8/30/05 421 402 823
9/1/05 - 9/30/05 694 79 773
10/1/05- 10/31/05 944 944
11/1/05 - 11/30/05 906 906
12/1/05 - 12/31/05 1022 1022
1/1/06 - 1/31/06 1007 1007
2/1/06 -- 2/28/06 952 952

4/1/06- 4/30/06 896 896
5/1/06 - 5/31/06 980 980
6/1/06 - 6/30/06 916 916
7/1/06 - 7/31/06 775 775
Above is the total number of LC approved with priority date between March 28, 2005 to July 31, 2006 ( My PD is July 28, 2006) on monthly basis based on the data published by PERM process.
The first column showed the priority date. The second column showed the approved LC with the PD range but approved in FY 2006 and the third coulmn showed the number of LC with the same PD range but their Labor approved in FY 2007(as different application can approved in different times).
If we assume that all the applicants with PD before July 1, 2005 have been approved then remaining numbers are total of 11979 with PD before July 31, 2006 and after Jun 30, 2005. If we assume that all the applications with PD before March 1, 2006 will be approved within this FY i.e before 9/30/2008 then only 4707 numbers of applications with PD between March 1, 2006 to July 31, 2006 will be left.
Based on above data how could you assume that Cut-off Date will be back to 2004 and it will take 2/3 years to even cross the year 2005.
I guess it is not going to move any further.
There are more than enough applications waiting to be approved than the visa number available for ROW this year. It will move backwards to 2004 date in October when visa number for 2009 will be available.
Remember, PERM started in March of 2005, and there are floods of LCs with PD > March' 2005. It will take 2/3 years before it can move beyond 2005.

I agree too. Visa Re-capture is the only solution which is available at this time. Now we have actual data in hand. We need to build a strong case, for ex person with priority date of 2004 have x number of people ahead of him, based on the numbers available per year for EB3 (I) It will easily take more than 5 years, That means total time for GC process from start to finish is >10 years.
One has to work in similar position for 10 years.
We can brain storm points like this an d build a strong case for admin fix/ Visa re-capture...
Thoughts/ Concerns..
I agree with you. Recapture is ony way out. Spill over was done from 2002 - 2006 and EB3 I was still struck in 2001. Adding 20k visa would barely move EB3 I With all the labor subs that happened in 2007 there are many more people that have jumped the lines. All Spill over can do is barely move Eb3 from 2001 to early / mid 2002 that is all. So for folks post 2004 PD you are struck because by the time your PD gets spillover there will be EB2 I & C fighting for the same visa# that you need. So spill over helps a small section either Eb3 I with PD between 2001 - 2003 or EB2 with PD 2005 - CURRENT. For all others only real chance is recapture

I would suggest IV to setup a seperate Chinese (or Hispanic) contribution page to diverse the culture background of IV members.
Hmm.. thats a good idea.. At least have a one opening page in Chinese / Spanish to bring in more people.. I hope IV does that later.. Of course they would need volunteers for the translation..

People are going to run after me for my comments but this is what i have to say.
Most of the visitors to IV take it for granted, they will come and see/search info and move on. No one is forcing them to pay a single penny for using a resource like IV. Its an attitude that someone will go to DC for ME, someone will pay the money for ME and if something happend I will also take benefit. Unfortunately thats what i see around.
Ideally we need to contribute - either by going to DC or by financial means. I did my part by contributing a few dollars(equals to 2 lunch outings for my family), cant force others but would expect people to do it one way or the other. Finally its our choice to do something for our own good or just keep sitting in a corner waiting for someone to do something for us.
Agree with indogokiwi and others. Whoever has consumed IV resources for anything like prediction thread or getting info from lawyers etc should chip in(dont get flamed, its just a request).
Since knowing of IV, I have contributed for these campaigns and will do in future too.

got the second card production ordered email today. first one was on june 28th. hopefully this time, we'll get the approval notice sent email in the next couple of days...or latest in the next week or so.
Something funny seems to be going on with the TSC EAD processing dept. I got my second "Card Production Ordered" email today, saying new card has been ordered on July 29. This followed the earlier email 13 days ago, which said the new card was ordered July 17! Did anyone else have similar experience?

I had posted my response to this idea before on this thread. So you know IV's position. For something like this you need to get several Greencard holder members involved and approach it very differently. You started the thread on 04-07-2008 but see nothing happens until someone starts working beyond starting a thread. There are many threads that come up on websites with new ideas and everyone comments on them. But if nobody is willing to work everyday on his idea, spend their own money on it , take time off several times in a year to travel and meet lawmakers, prepare documents and presentations for your idea to distribute ad go with in meetings, organize conference calls between group every weekend and sometimes every other week day, talk to various people during your own office hours and between your personal and professional life, it is simply not possible to work on an idea. Unless there is any sacrifice there is no chance of any gain in pursuing any idea, however brilliant it maybe. These ideas get buried in threads on the forums if they are not pursued sincerely.

As a start, I've decided to start walking in my office garage for half an hour before lunch.
This is a perfect example of motivation, time management and dedication to improving your lifestyle and IV.
Kudos to Needhelp!
My office is only on the 2nd floor of the building where I work, but at as much as possible, I take the stairs, going up as much as 4 flights and down as many as 18!!
Whether you are getting back into shape or trying to sustain a healthy life style, this is a perfect way to staying on top of your goal!! And in the process of self-improvement you are raising money for IV!! How noble is that!!:)

why dont you enlighten us all here with your english knowledge. i am pretty sure you are one cockroach who grew up in dirty gutter in some part of the world. You are here in IV just to create controversies between the IV members. Trust me, EB2 or EB3, we are smart enough to recognize tunnel rats like you and keep you where you belong - in the gutter...got it?
We know for sure nothing is going to happen with EB3 unless EB2 also moves. USCIS will never skip EB2 to help EB3. The law does not allow that. So, the interviewee must talk about the topic as a whole not EB2 or EB3 - no one in America knows what those mean.
The bigger issue is that not many can speak/write English well and so cannot be sent on TV....unless the interview is on Namaste India or something.

Here is what my attorney has sent regarding the AILA release, i dont know whether to believe him or other attorneys, i think i have no choice but to go with what my attorney says.He has been really good in these kinds ofnotices for the past 3 plus years, hope he is correct even with this.
1)There is no way that USCIS would get away with shutting down filing of EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 Adjustment filings without a massive class action lawsuit against the agency;
2)The power to determine the availability or non-availability of permanent residence visa numbers rests solely with the Department of State. USCIS rejected the �Other Worker� Adjustments based upon a notice from the Department of State that there were no longer any visa numbers for the category. I recently attended our annual AILA immigration conference and there were members in attendance who had interviewed the Department of State official who sets the priority dates. The understanding was unequivocal that the Department of State office felt the numbers would remain available throughout July, and perhaps, as late as September;
3)At this time, there are 40,000 immigrant visa numbers available for the rest of the fiscal year. This means that in order for the Department of State to issue any kind of notice to USCIS, 40,000 permanent residence petitions would have to be APPROVED prior to the end of July. I am highlighting the word approved, because I need for all of my clients to understand that between June and July, there will a lot more than 40,000 Adjustments filed. However, what determines an immigrant visa number usage is the approval of a permanent residence.
Now let�s go back to simple math: there are 140,000 immigrant visas available per fiscal year. 40,000 visa numbers are available at this time. The fiscal year runs from October 1st through September 30th. That means that in the first 9 months of the fiscal year, the Department of State and USCIS have managed to approve 100,000, which turns out to be 11,111 petitions per month. There is no possible way that USCIS and the Department of State are going to approve almost 4 times the number of permanent residencies in the month of July. The agencies do not have the time, nor do they have the manpower to approve 40,000 petitions within the next 30 days or so. That is the very reason why the Department of State official solely responsible for the priority dates felt pretty good about the availability of visa numbers throughout the month of July when he spoke to my colleagues from AILA.
To be honest with all of you, I was really disappointed in the message from AILA. In the rush to �inform,� they forgot to pause, analyze and really discuss the true possibility that USCIS would be directed by the Department of State to halt receipt of Adjustment of Status petitions. I want my clients to know this: at this point, I am not worried that the visa numbers will not be available throughout July. If I were worried, I would let you know. My responsibility is to guide you through this process and if there is any genuine worry on my part, I will let you know IMMEDIATELY.
This attorney is right. DOS is the one that manages the numbers. Not USCIS. USCIS is just a robot in processing the applications. DOS has legal obligation to issue not more than 140K EB visas per year. They may issue less than 140k visas per year. That�s is alright, no one can question. They can not exceed the limitation. The purpose of all category current in July is to approve all eligible 485s that were pending due to lack of visa numbers. It is not meant for accepting tons of 485 in July. If they do not make current for July, they cannot issue 40,000 visas before the end of FY. USCIS ombudsman scolded them in wasting the visas, despite the heavy demand. That is the reason why it is current. It is �current� not for accepting the tons of 485s. Also, Ombudsman recommended strongly that USCIS has to accept only correct number of 485s to process within time.
Even AILA failed to understand the difference between law and regulation. The regulation is a detailed procedure to implement the law. If they violate law, then they are in trouble. If they violate regulation without violating the law, it is perfectly alright. But only thing, it is not transparent and ideal way of handling the process.
Again, visa bulletin is an advisory notice by DOS to manage the numbers. DOS can instruct any time USCIS to accept or not to accept any 485s in between two visa bulletins.
If any one browse, USCIS web site, you can see this
� The requestor has verified that the current visa bulletin indicates that a visa number is available for the country and classification involved, and that the current bulletin has not been superseded by an advisory from the Visa Control Office.
The Department of State has guaranteed to USCIS that so long as the current visa bulletin and any superseding advisories indicate that a number is available, a number will be assigned.
1)There is no way that USCIS would get away with shutting down filing of EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 Adjustment filings without a massive class action lawsuit against the agency;
2)The power to determine the availability or non-availability of permanent residence visa numbers rests solely with the Department of State. USCIS rejected the �Other Worker� Adjustments based upon a notice from the Department of State that there were no longer any visa numbers for the category. I recently attended our annual AILA immigration conference and there were members in attendance who had interviewed the Department of State official who sets the priority dates. The understanding was unequivocal that the Department of State office felt the numbers would remain available throughout July, and perhaps, as late as September;
3)At this time, there are 40,000 immigrant visa numbers available for the rest of the fiscal year. This means that in order for the Department of State to issue any kind of notice to USCIS, 40,000 permanent residence petitions would have to be APPROVED prior to the end of July. I am highlighting the word approved, because I need for all of my clients to understand that between June and July, there will a lot more than 40,000 Adjustments filed. However, what determines an immigrant visa number usage is the approval of a permanent residence.
Now let�s go back to simple math: there are 140,000 immigrant visas available per fiscal year. 40,000 visa numbers are available at this time. The fiscal year runs from October 1st through September 30th. That means that in the first 9 months of the fiscal year, the Department of State and USCIS have managed to approve 100,000, which turns out to be 11,111 petitions per month. There is no possible way that USCIS and the Department of State are going to approve almost 4 times the number of permanent residencies in the month of July. The agencies do not have the time, nor do they have the manpower to approve 40,000 petitions within the next 30 days or so. That is the very reason why the Department of State official solely responsible for the priority dates felt pretty good about the availability of visa numbers throughout the month of July when he spoke to my colleagues from AILA.
To be honest with all of you, I was really disappointed in the message from AILA. In the rush to �inform,� they forgot to pause, analyze and really discuss the true possibility that USCIS would be directed by the Department of State to halt receipt of Adjustment of Status petitions. I want my clients to know this: at this point, I am not worried that the visa numbers will not be available throughout July. If I were worried, I would let you know. My responsibility is to guide you through this process and if there is any genuine worry on my part, I will let you know IMMEDIATELY.
This attorney is right. DOS is the one that manages the numbers. Not USCIS. USCIS is just a robot in processing the applications. DOS has legal obligation to issue not more than 140K EB visas per year. They may issue less than 140k visas per year. That�s is alright, no one can question. They can not exceed the limitation. The purpose of all category current in July is to approve all eligible 485s that were pending due to lack of visa numbers. It is not meant for accepting tons of 485 in July. If they do not make current for July, they cannot issue 40,000 visas before the end of FY. USCIS ombudsman scolded them in wasting the visas, despite the heavy demand. That is the reason why it is current. It is �current� not for accepting the tons of 485s. Also, Ombudsman recommended strongly that USCIS has to accept only correct number of 485s to process within time.
Even AILA failed to understand the difference between law and regulation. The regulation is a detailed procedure to implement the law. If they violate law, then they are in trouble. If they violate regulation without violating the law, it is perfectly alright. But only thing, it is not transparent and ideal way of handling the process.
Again, visa bulletin is an advisory notice by DOS to manage the numbers. DOS can instruct any time USCIS to accept or not to accept any 485s in between two visa bulletins.
If any one browse, USCIS web site, you can see this
