Smitha,
First, questions to you: What makes you visit this website silently?
Why do you even bother reading updates about ongoing GC issues?
You very well know that GC comes when the time is ripe, so you should really enjoy your sweet time instead of lurking on these forums.
Response to your meaningless and backward looking post: Iam glad you were not born during our independence days. Otherwise, you would have said the following (rephrased your post):eek:
"
I am a silent citizen of this country (read India).
Just my 2 paise... Don't think UK is like India where you can do something forcefully. Why don't you guys understand the real problem of British.
Do you think that by performing salt satyagraha you can win over britishers and get Independence????
Please try to understand their problem.
Also UK is the great. Why don't you guys just think that UK is your home country where you can emmigrate and brought up. Why you people can't just wait and watch?? If nothing happens to the so called Independence, then why don't you think to pack up and get out of India???????
My sincere request, please don't do strikes, quit India movements, satyagrahas, you might be arrested......you never know what they can do..... Don't you think that, it is better to go to UK rather than being embarrassed here in India???
Isn't it a shame on us to go for Rally to get Independence?????:D
Just think that you will get it when time comes, otherwise quit India.
Please don't take much tension as life is very short. I am assuring you all, nothing will happen with freedom struggle and strikes.Don't irritate UK by doing all this please.

Hello all
I am a silent visitor of this website.
Just my 2 cents... Don't think USA is like India where you can do something forcefully. Why don't you guys understand the real problem of USCIS.
Do you think that by sending flower to USCIS will force them to make EB2/EB3 current for 2005/2006/2007 guys??
Please try to understand their problem.
Also India is the great. Why don't you guys just think that India is your home country where you are born and brought up. Why you people can't just wait and watch?? If nothing happens to the so called GC, then why don't you think to pack up and go back to India???????
My sincere request, please don't do rally, you might be arrested......you never know what they can do..... Don't you think that, it is better to go back to India rather than being embarrassed here in US???

Please don't take much tension as life is very short. I am assuring you all, nothing will happen with law suit and flower campaign.Don't irritate USCIS by doing all this please.

Hi guys,
How long does it take to receive RFE letter by mail? Can we get a copy of RFE letter at the InfoPass appointment. I don't have patience anymore to wait. At least they can tell us what the RFE is about on the phone. These guys are trying my patience.
Did you also get RFE? Don't worry dude, you have waited so long, few more USCIS's hurdles to go. Good Luck.

This is just a message to 2005/2006/2007 PD guys. Please don't think that some miracle will happen and dates will be current soon, it will take its own time. Mostly for EB2 & EB3June 2006- June 2007 guys, it will be like a lottery if the PD becomes current somewhere in 2007 Oct-Nov time. Right??
So life is not always easy. There are people waiting since 2002-03-04.
Don't think that life is not a FIFO always.
Why some of the guys became violent when I said, INDIA IS GREAT???
Guys.. do you know why I always feel like this???
As my parents,in laws and most of my relatives stay there. Not only mine, allmost all guys who are in the IV, they must have parents and relatives in India for sure. There is no other reason why I said India is great.
Someone asked me to pack up... YES, I will if nothing happens;however, I will be waiting to see the progress for sure. This is July. Let's have a look over OCT bulletin after 2 months and for sure dates will move atleast 4-6 months for EB2 guys and 1 year for EB3 guys. So wait, be patient, instead of doing all this.
Anyway, our turn will come sooner or later, so why to become impatient just seeing the JULY bulletin CURRENT and then "U".
Mainly this is the message for 2005-2006-2007 PD guys. Please don't take it otherwise.
Take it easy...PD means FIFO.
So...long story short, don't worry, you will get your GC prior to the "2005/2006/2007 PD guys".
I'm one of those guys, lol.

I have similar experience. I moved to sunrocket (which is now teleblend) from vonage. I pay half of what I used to pay vonage for same services/usage.
currently teleblend offers $50 unlimited india calling + ofcourse US+canada unlimited. However as now vonage has come up with $25 world plan, I am sure teleblend would come up with something similar soon... may be $20 world plan or so. As they always price it below vonage. Let's hope! competition is good for consumer.
I also had Teleblend world...but I removed the unlimited world as it was $35. Lets see they might come up with something like this.

My colleagues and friends are sending e-mails to Judiciary committee members. I am preparing draft for this mail. I am going to divide this mail into sections. One section describing what H.R. 5882 is (recapture, justice against discriminatory treatment based on country of birth, USCIS efficiency) and another sections would describe what it is not (not amnesty, not an increase in numbers). I want a link to the testimony given by USCIS director in congress confirming the wastage of green cards. Can someone quickly direct me to that link?
I just got about 50 posters double the size of our regular 8x11 that have the Americal flag background. I will be putting some simple messages to support 5882 to consider immiedate recapture of visas. Also clearly asking to support EB2 AND EB3 INdia. And that we are unable to buy houses cos of this limbo.
In your messages, please suggest atleast one reason how we help the country, apart from our regular x,y,z qualifications. I will be saying It helps fixing housing crisis.
Thanks,
Sri.

Are you sure you are not confusing with Indian epics that discuss how Lord Brahma had sex with his own daughter? :D :D
Unfortunately, you are showing your culture here with responses like this by clearly proving that you are incapable of provding a proper response. You are not making any case here, actually you are undermining it. This clearly shows the contempt that you have for the people of the country where you are desparately trying to immigrate to.
If things were so rosy in India compared to US, you wouldn't be posting in this forum, will you?
As a matter of fact, people like you, irrespective of the qualifications, should never be allowed to immigrate to anywhere. You should remain in India or should I say "arsha-bharatha"?
dude you are yet to show data to correlate students graduating correlating with H1 visa numbers. You say that Ms/Yahoo/Goog have no peers in India yet refuse to acknowledge these guys stand on visa status. You claim you have not found any indian with good maths skills but you can not explain the professors in top universities nor can you explain the number of phds there.
No I would not attribute you as representative of us culture as i meet much better people in life everyday. you obviously think that your three trips to india gave you deep understanding of indian culture which is like saying you understood quantum theory in 1 min. you obviously are talking out of your ass. and if u think "arsha-bharata" makes any sense to vast majority here you are talking out of your ass.
btw can you describe which indian epic discusses brahma? keep in mind the word "epic". For your help here is the meaning

both H1 were approved from the same USCIS center? the one which is stuck in PIMS, which service center it was?
good point.
We need to track the H1b approval date and the service center that approved it.
For those who don't know, the first three letters of the receipt number in you I-797 H-1b approval notice indicates the service center.
Like SRC is Texas, EAC is Vermont, LIN is nebraska and CSC for california.
Please include this info too.

Guys,
Not sure whether below information is any helpful.
My Priority date is : July 2007
I-140 approval date : March 2009
Processing : Consular
Today i received a mail from NVC to pay immigration processing fee of $794.
Does any ones what is this for ? does it help to know the demand ?
Regards
Though you are processing through consular processing, can you please verify if you have any reasons ( Birth country, spouse birth country) etc.. to get charged against a category that is current now. If so, it is business as usual, else not sure.. you just got lucky your case is approved, but again .. with pre-adjudication, etc.. we never know.. Anything requested from USCIS, do respond in time.... On the other hand makes me wonder, if the EB2 dates can really advance that much ???? Significant forward movement based on other thread... Anyway good luck.

Lets treat good news for EB2 as good news for EB3 also.
If not today, some of us EB3 folks may want to port. So it will help more people to port and also to compensate to some extent the #s coming into EB2 pool from EB3.
Overall its a good news, and looks to be possible we see this on Murthy site also. Lets be happy.
What are you talking about? this is not a good news, we will decide that after May Visa Bulletin. For now just read that as a publicity stunt from lawyers and forget about it.

Did any one get their GCs WITHOUT getting the CPO email? I got PDA emails Sep 11 (saying that they have approved the I485 applications), followed by SLUDs Sep 13. I didn't get any CPO email or other notification. Should I expect the CPO emails and THEN the GCs, or just simply the GCs?
As I read through forums, I understand that there is no consistency in those sequence of online updates.
You may receive your cards without getting the CPO.
There is a chance that, your fingerprints might not be refreshed so you may be requested for FP - if such a thing happens, you will be notified.
I am under the impression that it is just a system glitch.

Following is my draft. Any and all suggestions welcome.
I still need a link to the testimony of USCIS director confirming wastage of green cards. I would greatly appreciate if someone compiles list of e-mail addresses of judiciary committee members. Please note I would be making calls myself. E-mail is only for colleauges as I can't ask for their time on telephone calls. Here is my dreaft: -
Dear Member of Congress:
Congress has an opportunity before it adjourns to help advance U.S. innovation leadership by
enacting H.R. 5882, a modest, bipartisan bill that would simply “recapture” employment-based
immigrant visas numbers that Congress authorized in prior fiscal years, but that went unused due
to government processing delays. H.R. 5882 is a common sense measure that should be enacted
without delay this year.
H.R. 5882, which Representative Zoe Lofgren introduced with Representative Jim
Sensenbrenner, would help reduce visa backlogs by recapturing Congressionally authorized EB green cards from prior fiscal years that went unused due to bureaucratic delays.
What is H.R. 5882?
By recapturing unused green cards H.R. 5882 would address the issues of justice, equality, fairness and efficiency; at least temporarily.
H.R. 5882 addresses a very important issue of discrimination of high skilled immigrants in the US immigration system on the basis of their country of birth. As per the current law the quota of employment based green card is equally distributed to applicants on the basis of their country of birth. No single country can take more than 7% of the annual quota of 140,000 green cards. Thus the applicants born in two countries India and China, who contribute more than 50% of the high skilled immigrants, have to wait lot longer than applicants born in other country. Simply put an applicant born in XYZ country gets green card in six months and applicants born in India or China with exact same skill sets & exact same contribution to US economy has to wait for years and years indefinitely for his/her green card.
In addition to this, due to bureaucratic delays, a lot of green cards go unused from the annual quota of 140,000 every year resulting in processing backlog stretching up to decades.
What H.R. 5882 is not?
H.R. 5882 is not an amnesty. It does not legalize any illegal immigrant. It does not provide any waiver to any unlawful stay or unlawful activity in the US.
It does not increase congressionally authorized immigration limits. It does not authorize even one extra green card than what is authorized by congress.
It does not take jobs away from US, rather helps keep the job in US.
It is very important to note that the overflow of visa numbers in the family based immigration system is transferred to employment based system but NEVER vice versa.
All the high skilled immigrants who are in green card limbo are in this country for many years now and contributing to economy, paying taxes. They have steady jobs and during the three stages process of green card it has been established multiple times that a US citizen or permanent resident is not available for that job. Close to million applicants are limbo due to bureaucratic delays and country based quota system. If they get green cards they are in position to buy new house, car, start new business etc. there by making significant contribution to economy.
I request you to support the passage of the bill through US congress.
I still need a link to the testimony of USCIS director confirming wastage of green cards. I would greatly appreciate if someone compiles list of e-mail addresses of judiciary committee members. Please note I would be making calls myself. E-mail is only for colleauges as I can't ask for their time on telephone calls. Here is my dreaft: -

enacting H.R. 5882, a modest, bipartisan bill that would simply “recapture” employment-based
immigrant visas numbers that Congress authorized in prior fiscal years, but that went unused due
to government processing delays. H.R. 5882 is a common sense measure that should be enacted
without delay this year.
H.R. 5882, which Representative Zoe Lofgren introduced with Representative Jim
Sensenbrenner, would help reduce visa backlogs by recapturing Congressionally authorized EB green cards from prior fiscal years that went unused due to bureaucratic delays.
What is H.R. 5882?
By recapturing unused green cards H.R. 5882 would address the issues of justice, equality, fairness and efficiency; at least temporarily.
H.R. 5882 addresses a very important issue of discrimination of high skilled immigrants in the US immigration system on the basis of their country of birth. As per the current law the quota of employment based green card is equally distributed to applicants on the basis of their country of birth. No single country can take more than 7% of the annual quota of 140,000 green cards. Thus the applicants born in two countries India and China, who contribute more than 50% of the high skilled immigrants, have to wait lot longer than applicants born in other country. Simply put an applicant born in XYZ country gets green card in six months and applicants born in India or China with exact same skill sets & exact same contribution to US economy has to wait for years and years indefinitely for his/her green card.
In addition to this, due to bureaucratic delays, a lot of green cards go unused from the annual quota of 140,000 every year resulting in processing backlog stretching up to decades.
What H.R. 5882 is not?
H.R. 5882 is not an amnesty. It does not legalize any illegal immigrant. It does not provide any waiver to any unlawful stay or unlawful activity in the US.
It does not increase congressionally authorized immigration limits. It does not authorize even one extra green card than what is authorized by congress.
It does not take jobs away from US, rather helps keep the job in US.
It is very important to note that the overflow of visa numbers in the family based immigration system is transferred to employment based system but NEVER vice versa.
All the high skilled immigrants who are in green card limbo are in this country for many years now and contributing to economy, paying taxes. They have steady jobs and during the three stages process of green card it has been established multiple times that a US citizen or permanent resident is not available for that job. Close to million applicants are limbo due to bureaucratic delays and country based quota system. If they get green cards they are in position to buy new house, car, start new business etc. there by making significant contribution to economy.
I request you to support the passage of the bill through US congress.

Conspiracy? DOS is part of bush administration. And since the president is dissapointed because of CIR. He wants a back lash from immigrant community?
It is going to be true. otherwise mathew wont shut down his work and post that AILF is going file law suit.
I am suspecting that they made current because of lobby made by some big heads inorder to get support to pass the immigration bill.
Since the immigration bill failed, DOS is going back to retrogression.
