It would be great if all those messages were from IV. But how do we know that our opponents are not doing the same thing ? Let's be optimistic though. Good job, IV members. Let's keep those phone calls going.
So I read that the amendment for recapture has been removed from the funding bill. Guess we are back to the start again? This really makes me to start hate the fact that we are held as the hostage of illegals

I e-filed both EAD and AP together for my wife on 6/30. Got AP approval but no FP for EAD yet.
WE have a lot of ppl even waiting before you. You are lucky atleast you got your AP approved. I had e-filed on June 1st and have not even heard anything about it. EAD was e-filed on May 29th and got my FP done on June 28th.
I hope this helps.

Has anyone asked attorney whether we can write our case number on the complaint letter without asking employer since LC(PERM) is filed by employer and the case number seems to belong to employer.
My HR and company hired attorney are always not cooperative to my GC and I want to clear things.
Don't take my question negative. I am fully supportive this 100% and appreciate guys very much. I am happy that we are doing something to make things better.
Saggita,
I copied the letter from Ron send it to my attorney asking whether I can send this letter with my case number on it. My employer is very cooperative but the problem is they do not have any idea on what green card process is. I will let you know once I get the reply from my attorney.
Good luck..

Done calling the congressmen's offices. Left messages for the remaining members of the CHC. Let's keep calling and hope that some thing good comes from the collective effort.
To all IV members, please keep the phonelines going. Our strength lies in the numbers and the momentum generated by the phone call initiative.

Finally, I received much awaited approval /CPO emails. No matter what it certainly is a relief moment both financially ( savings in EAD/AP renewals) and emotionally.

I just got my wife's medical done ...from the same place where I got mine.
There is not need of the xray. If you have proof of vaccination good else they will take some of your blood and do your immunization test and return the SEALED envelope after 3 days. cost $190
For TB test some times you might need to do the X-ray after the skin test if the result is 5mm or higher. These kind of tests are not suggested for pregnant women and the doctor will keep a note.

Here are my thoughts about May visa Bulletin:
The severe retrogression of EB3 has nothing to do with EB1C (if at all this will affect something, that would be spill over to EB2). This severe retrogression is the result of "FBI name check backlog" being cleared up. We never had actual info as to how many of "super old" cases were pending due to this: Now that they have cleared it up over the past year, it seems to me that it used up most of the visa numbers for EB3 during this fiscal year. This is actually a good news for the people who were waiting for almost a decade, but not so good news for the recent filers.
The main uncertainty is: How many more visa numbers would be needed to actually finish this "name check backlog"...we simply don't know; hopefully not too many.
Impact of this on EB2 would be of similar magnitude and therefore, we can consider that this fiscal year got "almost completely chewed up" in clearing those name check cases. For EB2, actual impact wouldbe apparent (hopefully) in the last quarter when EB2 India an china will move toghether (if the dates are similar like last fiscal year; i.e. 2006, then we can say that it took "year worth of visa numbers" to fix the name check mess. At the same time, some of the effect would be due to EB1C, but I personally have serious doubt that it would have changed much compared to previous years (we will only come to know about EB1C impact once the year end stats will be out and if we see significant change in EB1 usage)..
In any case, "EB2 being current in one year" dream of VDLRAO will not come true (I personally supported this thought last year), mainly because of clearing of FBI name check backlog (which is actually a good thing). However, actual impact on EB2 will be clarified only once spill over starts to EB2 and dates of India and china move together.
Any additional thoughts would be welcome.
(PS: I do not know much about EB1C, and as I mentioned above, actual impact of it would be difficult to determine until the EB1 usage numbers come out, but I sincerely dont think it had anything to do with EB3 being unavailable so early).

Same here, I have Masters from a very high rated US University and 10 years of experience, but was misguided by attorneys, as there was no retrogression when I applied. Ending up with EB3.
Members like I_Got_Skillz are new kids on the block, who think that only they got masters in the whole world. Just from their sign-in names you can tell how immature they are.
I think big changes like CIR, elimination of EB2 or legislative amendments are not feasible right now, and we should try for some low profile but effective changes that can be done by decision makers at USCIS itself, unnoticed by politicians. For example, somehow convincing USCIS to change their spillover rules, so that EB3-I can get some benefits. We can try to make them understand that doing this will eliminate a lot of their old time backlog and will increase their reputation among other federal departments.
ChrisRock, Raju & other EB3 members must realize as long as members like I_Got_Skillz are here who are lurking just to ruin any EB3 conversation, it is very difficult to come up with a solution.
Also, the idea that an EB2 is more skilled and EB3 is not, is wrong since EB2s are nothing but the same qualification with a few more years of experience and EB3s are the same but who have been misguided by the attorneys when retrogression was never there.
Example, in my case, I have a masters, 7 years of experience before starting my green card app. Currently, I have a total of 15 years of experience as of today working in various domains.
In my opinion if you are looking for a solution which is more radical but practical, it should be in a way where there is a highly skilled category which should be more like EB1 and the rest. I think EB2 should be eliminated and merge both EB3 & EB2 candidates and do a FIFO processing. Isn't this the way most of the countries in rest of the world gave their process?
These are all changes which cannot be done due to politics, but in my opinion is the right approach.
Even some of the IV state chapter leaders etc are people with EB2 apps and they shoot down anything which works to their disadvantages.
It is only the IV Core & a few other members which really care about the backlog irrespective of category.
Please note, I am not naming any state chapter leaders in particular, but I have observed via threads & posts how their line of thoughts are.
