Don't stress out too much!!! Sleep calmly till dawn and believe me next morning will be more rewarding.
There is one thing which all of us can do and I belive it will be more effective than a rally(And certainly will cost less).
all we need to do is spread the problems we are facing whenever we buy high value goods like cars or homes. tell the dealer / broker / edu instituitions ..I would have closed the deal if I had a green card ..so the next time congress takes up this bill ..there would be more support for increased legal visas ...unfortunately many of us are selfish ,...we just run and buy houses as soon as we get EADs

If USCIS is planning on using up all 40K by July 2, and not accepting applications why would they put out a memo like this?
questions are never ending, the only thing in our control is to push our lawyer to file asap.

USCIS to Suspend Premium Processing for All I-140 Petitions Beginning July 2
06/28/2007
In a press release issued today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that it will impose a temporary suspension of premium processing services for all Form I-140 immigrant worker petitions from July 2, 2007 to August 1, 2007. Premium services are being suspended because USCIS expects a surge of I-140 filings beginning on July 2, when immigrant visa priority dates become current for nearly all employment-based categories. The agency anticipates that, due to the high volume of filings, it will be unable to meet the 15-day processing goal of the service.
During the 30-day period, USCIS plans to review its decision to halt premium processing of I-140s, and could extend the suspension beyond August 1 if, due to its workload, the agency remains unable to guarantee 15-day processing. Note that premium processing services are currently suspended for I-140 petitions for which a labor certification substitution is being requested, pursuant to a new Department of Labor (DOL) regulation that prohibits substitution of labor certification beneficiaries beginning July 16, 2007.
1. I-140 processing times have been already adversely affected by almost everyone going in for premium processing... in one case (TSC, EB-3?) it went back to 2003
2. there would definitely be a surge in the I-140's beginning July-- many going in for Premium Processing, which would certainly slow them down, and perhaps, make it impossible to guarantee a 15 day response
3. possibly, they are helping speed up the AOS decisions by doing this
However, it sucks that they are doing something like this with a less than 1 week notice!

people who have excuses have excuses. We all do.
There might not be lot of ladies on the forums but the ladies we have in IV accomplish a lot and are very dedicated. I will take a highly productive and dedicated team even if it is small. Cheers
I have been swimming and strength training for quite some time now and have started kettle bells and Taek Won Do this year. I do see a lot of women working out. All I am saying is that these forums have a lower proportion of females.......pure statistics.
And yes; there are a lot of females working out and the ones who do take up martial arts are more serious than the guys. However the most common excuse cited by the ones who hesitate to take up running/walking, is security. I am trying to get the ones who are not working out to get out; the ones who are; have a lot of tenacity.
.............BTW, be nice to me. By the time you come to DC to run the race, I might have my brown belt :)

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.

Hi All,
After a long wait i have my priority date became current. But my employer is saying to wait for some more time before he can file for I485.What can i do in this scenario? He is saying the dates are going to remian the same for next couple of months.Please suggest.
Thanks!
Name the company. It is very important. You have worked patiently for so many years for your GC and now this! It is criminal behavior on your company's part to delay the process any longer. Such unscrupulous people must be exposed immediately.

Did you get a letter or something.

In past days, immigrants come to US thro only consular processing (no AOS in past) to become a permanent resident. Even now most of the immigrats (family based) comes thro CP. Therefore, one has to wait 5 years to become a citizen. This makes sense, because, this period is necessary to check the character of a person before becoming a citizen and to check whether one has maintained continuous residence here to become citizens. This same logic will not be good for people already in USA for more than 5 years legally (Particularly employment based immigrants). Only 10 to 15 % of immigrants go for AOS. Most of us here in USA for more than 5 to 10 years. We have waited for labor certification since 2001, waited for 140 and now waiting for 485. We paid taxes, maintained legal status and good characters during last 5 to 10 years. It is unjustifiable for us to wait again another 5 years to become a citizen. The old rule of 5 year waiting period makes no sense for people already lived legally more than 5 years here. In this current situation, one has to wait 10 to 15 years to become a citizen. It is a big wait. Therefore 5 year waiting rule must be eliminated for applying citizenship, if people maintaind 5 year legal residency (either in non-immigrant or immigrant or combained) prior to filing N-400.

Hi IV members!
I know many of us have been toying with ideas to increase membership. I wanted to start a separate thread just to highlight the following idea - Every member bring one additional member to IV.
Specifically, these are the bullet points I suggest:
1. By December 31, each of you bring one member to IV.
If you really think about it, it is not a difficult task. Every one of us knows atleast one person stuck in GC process, that is talking conservatively. It takes less than 15 minutes to call one person and explain IVs efforts and request his/her support.
2. By January 15, each of us take responsibility to get the member we brought to IV to contribute to the cause. And I am not suggesting any particular amount.
3. Each of take responsibility in having them update their information on IV website, so that when the need arises, they can be contacted (for sending webfaxes etc. like last week).
Also, whenever you bring someone to IV, please post on this thread (it will encourage others). I feel this approach will work, if we keep this thread alive, and try to stick to the time deadline (deadlines might not have worked before, because they were too long term).
Also, please keep this thread on track, without any other discussions.
So IV'ers, lets add ONE member, and get ONE contribution!!!!
Thank you.

Thank you so much for bringing forth this thought and initiative!
This is exactly the kind of drive we seek from most members. It is vital for us to increase our membership levels to sustain our efforts. The more we are the stonger our voice will be.

You can take these at any Hospitals or Clinic. They are quiet costly but my insurance covered them 100%.
From my understanding you need all these completed to be able to file I485, when ever that may be.......

Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
what the law is; is that greencard is for future position. who you are working with/where you live, what your status is; is totally irrelevant.
the company is probably advertising the position in california and that is where the job opportunity is. If it doesn't allow for travel then company is saying that is where you are going to permanently work.
Where you are currently doesn't matter within the law.
however, in the last few months; department of labor in audit requests has stated that job opportunity is at xx location but person address is at xxx and to explain the discrepancy. I haven't seen this type of query recently but your lawyer is probably thinking about getting this type of query.
