hellomms Could you gather all such people who are facing this issue and want to join the effort to fix it, at a single place on an IV thread. Once we have a sizable number of people to take initiative this effort can be successful. It is difficult to divert attention and resources for a single person. Each immigration issue that our community faces is important to the person suffering from it. IV is a place where people can get together and do something about fixing it.
I am willing to take the responsibility of gathering dates of people that are stuck and waiting for a reply.:)

Yes..it has slowed down noticeably.
I guess due to this long weekend.
I guess half the USCIS officers are vacationing @ Bermuda :D
You guys noticed that the approval rate has really slumped on for EB3 ROW?

What was in "our" favor in the last stimulus bill? Which bill are you talking about?
They were going to deny immigrants the stimulus rebate in the 2009 bill, but we got them to drop the restriction just before the bill was signed into law. There is a discussion about it in the forum.

Many of us have gone through the Canadian immigration process and received permanent residence there "as a backup". It's a monumental waste of time and resources.
The several thousand dollars worth of additional (and mostly unnecessary) expense could be better spent here in the States. Something that can perhaps also be highlighted in your presentations.

It could be a waste of time if your plan is to be in the US. Everyone I know who went through the process in Canada planned to stay in Canada. I was just pointing out how easy it is there compared to here and the fact that they don't discriminate against people because of their racial or ethnic background.
Canada could be a good model for the US. Therefore, I thought about comparing the processes during the meeting.

Thanks Lasantha for your reply. I am not sure if employer can call on my behalf and get an update on my application??. I did explain to my employer that to get an update I can call USCIS but they want an update from USCIS in writting to keep it on my employee file in the HR dept. I am not sure if USCIS will reply to the inquiry in writing or not. (I think by law, they have to, right??) what is the amiling address at NSC???
I filed for my I-485 myself without the help of a lawyer.
My employer (a small business) has never gone through the GC sponsorship before me and they are not familiar with the process.

I thought i was the oldest, but someone got a GC this week after 16 yrs wait. my first attempt was in 1998 sept (never filed and sat in the lawyers office for 6 months) while i was working hard. Second went into NY DOL (2001) and after 4 yrs my company shut down - labor was in backlog center. Last attempt started in 2005. Aug 11th it will be 15 yrs. Not sure what i am doing here or why i am clinging on to this. Hanging in the same field, no growth and no enthu. Most of my friends put up their citizenship oath taking pics in facebook or are back in india
we waited so long, hang in there for a few more days. hope all will be fine.
I may beat you on total wait time. it's 15 yrs since i entered this country (1995).
first labor filed 1999 (11 yrs back), current one started in 2004

I'm calling on my way home from work.
I've also sent emails to my local representatives and senators. See below (parts were taken from Ron G).
While I agree that calling on the CHC reps could have some success, calling on the others might be even better. Just my 2 cents.
Dear Rep. xxx
I am appalled that the Congressional Hispanic Caucus is being allowed to
dictate immigration policy to the United States Congress. As your
constituent, I demand that you notify Speaker Pelosi that you earnestly
desire that she stop giving in to the CHC and allow legislation to proceed
to the floor for a vote.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus has decided that there will be no
immigration legislation considered by Congress unless it includes an
amnesty for illegal aliens. While I sympathize with the problems they're
facing, it is no reason to keep all immigration bills hostage and ruin the
lives of so many people.
I have been legally in this country for x years studying, working and
paying taxes. I have a Masters Degree in xxx from xxx. Our lives have been in limbo for the last 4 years waiting for our green card application to be
approved. Any of the bills currently introduced for the EB community
would give relief to many people caught for years in this waiting game.
It is time for the tail to stop wagging the dog. This nonsense must end.
With Regards,

AFAIK the H1 Masters quota of 20K is open to just U.S. Masters degrees, not even PHDs from Indian universities qualify for it.
however for EB2 for instance they dont care where you get your masters, so its a mixed bag. Basically USCIS follows the law, and its upto the lawmakers to decide the nitty-gritty of a particular law.
If you have US masters degree then it is very esay approval but with non-us masters you need to provide lots of supporting documents because they are scrutinize more.

I knw how it feels. BTW after how many days of raising an SR did u get this email? I'm thinking of raising an SR as well...
90 days is a lonnng time. I donno how it works if ur case dozn't get picked up in the next 50 odd days and the dates go back in Oct. Good luck anywayz...I'm sure thgs will work out.
Hi,
My 485 petition is with NSC. I opened an SR last month and got a rather uninformative response today. It does not tell me if my petition has been pre-approved or has even cleared the background check.
"
The status of this service request is: Your file is currently with the adjudications department, waiting on the availability of an officer to be assigned your pending case. Please allow at least another 90 days to hear something further on your application.

What is the advantage of claiming trader status on your tax return? I buy / sell shares on different days of the week (example: Buy on Monday, Sell on Friday). Does that make me a day trader?
I am doing this on H1B. I do have approved EAD.
while on H1-B status, one can do intra day trading in stocks, options, and/or futures, he/she can NOT claim trader status on federal tax return. Person on EAD can claim trader status and claim some trading related expenses to save tax on it.
