We do not get any attention, because we do not raise our issues and we are not vocal about the problems we face.
.... But we as a group need to stand up, talk about the issues we face and have our voices heard.
You made very good points. May I suggest we ask members to call on the phone too if they're busy? This actually worked in delaying the first Bailout in 2009, when they received numerous calls.
Customer service reps do this for hours everyday in some places.

You are right that there is no hope for EB3 India. But only as long as you and others in EB3 do not meet their lawmakers. Take part actively in action items. We have details of every local town hall meeting in your area and you can go there. We can help you set up your meeting with your lawmaker in his office. We can help you meet in their DC office if you want to get really active. We have several more details and ideas and need people to work on them.
FYI we never use the terms like EB2 or EB3 in our meetings with lawmakers. There is no priority in our agenda based on category or nationality. ImmigrationVoice.org - About Immigration Voice (http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5&Itemid=47) You will not find anywhere EB2 or EB3 based agenda here.
Well Pappu, the fact of the matter is nothing has been done specifically to help EB3-I/C/ROW. IV may be EB agnostic but EB3-I seems to have been stuck forever to the point of despair.
I and other EB3s have donated to most of the IV causes and campaigns. We have written to our Senators, reps, sponsors and co-sponsors of bills but nothing has helped.
If IV renews its focus to help EB3-I/C/ROW then you can expect more contributiuons from EB3s.
I do not want a lesson on EB3/EB2/EB1...there is no end to opinions on this forum. What I and other EB3-I/C/ROW want are results. Contributions, meeting the lawmakers, writing to politicians etc will kick in fourth gear if there is a reasonable advancement of dates for EB3-I/C/ROW.
BTW, your and other IV leaders' efforts are very much appreciated. All that I am saying is that IV should be focused on EB3-I/C/ROW (through tagging recapture to a bill or something) now that EB2 is getting help from USCIS spillover.

Myself and my spouse applied for EAD Renewal on 04/20/2010, sent to TSC by lawyer.
Got receipt by postal mail on 05/04/2010 and got email yesterday that oth EAD are approved.
Actually current EAD expires at end of July, but we did apply before as we were told so to avoid unexpected delays in approvals as lot of new things are happening in service centers.
Also this is related to Drivers License renewal and in some states many rules changed (eg VA MD,CA ). Many new security features are enclosed.
Previously , once we provide all documentation required immediately new DL with new expiration date is issued. Now a days , DL issue process has changed in many states. Finger prints are taken and DL with enhanced security features are being issued.
This whole process of issuing new DL is taking 2-4 weeks.
Would like to mention some things regarding application.
Our Attorney is very good one and has lot of patience. He will never take chance by sending partial paperwork or giving some information to saisfy us.
100 % professional.
Till now we applied for 3 EAD Renewals and couple of AP renewals
He always asks us to send documents as specified below to avoide any possible queries etc.
1. Copies of all EAD, Front and Back color copies.
2. Copies of EAD Mailer forms for which EAD are attached.
3. Copy of DL (Front, Back)
4. Copies of all H1B &H4
5. Copies of all Passports (32 pages - 1st page in color)
6. Copy of latest I94
7. 2 Recent PhotoGraphs
8. Check for $340.00 (Pay to oredr of Department Of Homeland Security).
Previously, as soon as checks are cashed there used to be Redceipt Numbers (Like SRC, LIN etc) on back. But not any more.
We need not worry whether receipt number is on back of encashed check or not.
Even though many of us are getting approvals in a month or so, please dont count on this. It will be safe and better for applicants to send renewal applications at least before 90 days. Probability is that we might lose a month or 2, but this is worth taking in to all things in to consideration.
Have A Good Weekend Guys!!

I agree with you but give them(EB3 people) hope that next year we will re capture unused visas either through CIR or piecemeal amendment.
With re-capture EB2 will be current and all the spillover/accross/up/down will go to EB3
and next year sept Eb3 will move 3-4 years.
I do not know much but IV core might be in a good position to answer about how we can
get our provisions piecemeal.
Unless if the law changes so that all these years of wait count towards citizenship, I sincerely think the wait is useless and its totally unfair.

05/05/2008: USCIS Revises "Significantly" Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) Interpretation & Guidance 04/30/2008
The Acting Associate Director, Domestic Opertions, USCIS, Mr. Donald Neufeld, issued a memorandum on April 30, 2008 to significantly revise Adjudicators Field Manuals(AFM) in the subject of CSPA and replacing previous and current guidances, "The Child Status Protection Act," issued September 20, 2002; and "The Child Status Protection Act � Memorandum Number 2", issued February 14, 2003. This guidance significantly modifies a prior interpretation of certain provisions of the CSPA. In particular, it changes how the agency interprets the statute to apply to aliens who aged out prior to the enactment date of the CSPA. It also permits those individuals who were ineligible under the prior policy to file a new application for permanent residence. Under certain circumstances, this guidance also permits those individuals who were previously denied for CSPA to file motions to reopen or reconsider without filing fee. It also explains what steps certain aliens who do not automatically benefit from the CSPA can take to protect their status as a child.

Did you ever hear name called Enron , Anderson consulting and Computer Associates ? Try to do a google search on Enron and Anderson consulting :D
Of course but the fact that they did unethical things is not an excuse for this indian companies to do the same.
dohko, The point of satishku_2000's post was that all companies follow the similar business practices. It doesn't make any difference if it is TCS or IBM, Anderson or Infosys. They are all same bunch of people, just different names. So your repeated rant about "indian companies" is not valid any more. We have someone who worked for IBM for 8 years and got 2 pay checks on bench. So now, lets not squabble without any reason.

I have signed with my bank online payment option to make recurrent payment to IV ... should i cancel that option and pay via paypal ?

The fact is that most of Pre 2004 EB2 lot is already out of the system. Those who are still in are sufferer of namecheck and BECs.
That's simply incorrect. Since EB-2 India was held up at Jan 2003 from Oct 2005 to June 2007, most EB-2 filers from 2003 and 2004 are still very much out there and waiting. You have to remember that most 2003/04 EB-2 filers from California/NY/NJ/WA were rotting in BEC. High demand states have not approved any labors with 2003-2004 PD's before 2005 when BEC started to approve them. But this was too late as dates were already retrogressed, thus for almost 2 years there was build up for 2003/04 EB-2 cases. I know a lot of them personally.
The only exception to this might be: There were very few cases filed in EB-2 during 2003 and 2004, but that is hard to believe.
