I wont never want to be a US citizen anyways. GC is all required. are you kidding me. why would you want to be a citizen here anyways.
two reasons
one, to vote, exercise a democratic principle, you can't complain about the government unless you actively participated.
two, I have 3 kids, and it's likely they'll stay here, my 12 year olds were 3 when we first arrived. My lawyer highly recommended we consider citizenship after another client had challenges. Despite good parenting this guy's kids got into trouble with the law, to the extent that they had their green cards revoked and they were in deportation process. However had they been US citizens whilst there were consequences they wouldn't have their citizenship revoked.

Dear friend akred,
One question for you my friend, ask your consience.
your advice to BEG, Borrow, STEAL or KILL, is this how we should conduct ourself in the society. Do you want such kind of society. Is it good to profess anger, decit and violence in society. (think what our kids will face when they grow up.) ?
As a devote Hindu, I live by Hindu way of life, and I Hope you do too, I PRAY to you, can you PLEASE implement this way of life in your normal daily life, you will see the difference yourself.
Not meaning to anger you, Sorry in advance if I have hurt you. I pray you will change.
OM !!!!;)
On a philosophical note, you have to do what you must. Everything has its time and place - anger and violence are valuable tools and sometimes violence is noble when you are confronted by evil - perhaps the only thing out of place is "steal".
Anyway, companies have pre-approved labors that are expiring in a month. The dramatic language was to convey the message that this is the time for action.

I've mailed my application on 3/16 and received by Houston office on 3/18 as per fedex tracking..
I sent an email to passportcgihouston@swbell.net on friday and got the response that my application was not registered in their system..
Is there some waiting time to register the application in the system?? I'll send another mail after 2 days..hopefully it will be registered by then..
Have u got any updates on ur application?They have mentioned "three weeks" as the standard time frame on the website....i guess yours has been there for three weeks.....have u heard anything from them?

having PD current and Processing time current does not mean that the applicant will get GC. the state department actually moves cutoff dates in the VB because USCIS is not productive enough (not processing applications on time) to use up all the available visas for that quarter or year and they are afraid that those visas will go to waste. so they move the cutoff date on the VB (make more people current) so Consular processing will have more applications to pull from and then approve more applications.
so now we have to have PD current processing time for that service center is current and also be lucky so an IO will pick up our application to be processed. (it is actually little depressing)

Just curious...when did you open the Service request? And after how many days you received the reply below on your case? Was it through email or postal mail?
Thank you.
I opened a Service request for my case and got a reply last night, saying 'you cases is assigned an IO offices. Please allow us 60 days to make a decision ....'
I called the number on your I797 form and rep asked me, if I had any activity on my case in last 60 days. I said No so she opened a SR.

After doing a conference call this weekend, we think we should close this thread. There are not enough people for us to consider a large public campaign. However this does not mean IV is not and will not be working on this fix. This fix has been a very important fix for IV for several years and we have it in our legislative and admin fixes agenda. Those that came for the recent advocacy day event know that it is a key provision that relates to our quality of life concern. Every other legislative fix we are trying is also tied to I485 filing. We advocated for this fix in our just concluded advocacy days and will continue to do so in every opportunity we get. The purpose of this thread was misunderstood and people thought IV will only work on this fix if there are 5000 votes.
We were at the time of starting this thread considering a possibility of launching a campaign like http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum16-iv-agenda-and-legislative-updates/17157-deadline-march-1st-target-25000-letters-can-we-make-it-happen.html when the timing was right.
In past similar IV campiagns, some people even got responses like http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum16-iv-agenda-and-legislative-updates/18067-admin-fix-letter-response-from-cis-wh.html
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum16-iv-agenda-and-legislative-updates/18200-letter-from-uscis-after-sending-letter-to-president.html
For a campaign like that to succeed the number has to be way higher than what we achieved in 2008. Again just writing letters will not do anything. You need a big organization like IV behind it where we take all these letters with us for the meeting. We also need a strong ongoing advocacy effort in DC though lobbying.
Another point to be noted for all people wanting to file I485 is not to think narrowly about your own I485 application. It will be counter productive to your own cause and the overall effort we are trying to do. This also applies to people who have filed I485 and do not wish others to be able to file I485 because their own application might be delayed or some other reasons ( Here is one past example . Many posts on this thread and many such divisive threads are deleted because they were too offensive but you will get an idea http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/2714-why-are-we-suddenly-obsessed-with-uscis-efficiency.html ) . We are going to adopt a zero tolerance policy to such people when we come across. People who think narrowly about their own I485 application and fail to understand the full picture of the EB backlog should not be part of this effort. It is better to not respond to such people and lose such people from this effort rather than trying to be all inclusive. We cannot waste our time to either keep such people happy or fight with them. If there are any such narrow minded people for or against this fix, they are free to cancel their recurring contributions and find their own ways to get their I485 fix done or oppose IV's I485 fix effort.
For people who have voted and want to work on this fix, please contact the leaders of this initiative ashwin_27 and starsun. There is a google group where most active members share their views. The entry to the google group is restricted and the leaders will have to speak to each interested person before permitting access. There will also be public action items posted in the coming weeks for everyone that has voted. These action items will also help you to raise awareness of this issue. We are closing this poll at this time so that there is no misunderstanding and people who have voted understand that there is more to getting this fix done than just voting and going away or complaining that nothing is happening.
The thread will be closed in a day or two.

Why are you equating quality of life to owning a house?
- Because you are an "owner"? No you are not! You are renting the house from the bank
- Because you have a backyard?- go out and rent a house. They are a dime a dozen, will cost you half the cost of your monthly mortgage payment
- Because you have peace of mind? Really. Read your other post on people getting laid off
- Because your (ok someone else's) kid asked if you are poor? Really? A kid's innocent question is going to make you gamble (that's what investing in an immovable asset is in your situation) away a decade of savings?
- Because you want to give your child the best possible childhood? Think about it, if things turn for the worse either in your economy/company/job (absolutely do not wish it on anyone), and you are forced to move/sell the house/get foreclosed upon etc., how much more have you hurt your family and traumatized them in your effort to give them a great childhood?
- How many nights of peaceful sleep have you lost lying awake wondering what you would do if you/your spouse lost a job, had to move etc.?
I still cannot understand how/why someone would buy a house in the bay area ($700K+ for a SFH in a minimally liveable area) and $1M+ in places like Cupertino.
I will enjoy my quality of life in my rented condo (with a rent 1/3rd of the monthly mortgage payment it would take to buy it) and take my 2 year old to the park if he feels like he needs a back yard. Dont need to mow the lawn either!
Thumbsup!!
There is a perception on this board that renting => no quality of life. After going through some of the replies, I see that some are trying to convince themselves of their decision to buy a house.

I am glad to see the Email finally.
We had opened SR by going to the option of Address Change and then to the CR rep, and the rep had actually initiated Expediate process on finding that we have not received the EAD card, Rep had asked allt he options like Military Service, govt service and financial hardship, we told we loose job is we do not get EAD before the expiry date and Rep choose the option of Financial hardship as cause for Expediate request and it worked for us.
I hope others can try this option to initiate Expediate Process

Please follow up with all the new folks that you have helped register at IV.
Congrats to all of you who are actively making it happen.
Thank you, Amitjoey, Pappu, Anurakt and all those who helped keep this campaign alive. I salute your positive, 'never say die' attitude. I am re-joining this and all other IV campaigns actively, now that I am back from a trip to India. I am confident that together we can provide that final much needed push.
Fellow IV'ers,
This month and the coming few are going to be very important for our cause. As all of us know, that the two important things we would need are contributions from current members and new members who can contribute.
Let's all bring just one more member to IV. Even if you have already done so before, I urge you to go down the list of contacts in your mobile/outlook, and wake them up to our cause.
Please Add ONE member to IV this week!!!

USCIS does not differentiate US or Indian degrees.. Yes US degree has its own advantages... It more than just LEARNING...
Education is a bigger word than learning... Institutions can impart learning only... You can be highly learned with big degrees... still not educated :-)
Take a chill pill friends... Degree is important to USCIS like MPG (miles per gallon) to Car.. as its a basis to compare different entities :-)

Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
My case was stuck in BEC for a couple of years and was cleared some time back. (Disclaimer).
But I totally sympathise with you. A few of my friends are still stuck in BEC and I feel very bad that I am moving forward even though my PD is newer than theirs.
I believe this issue can be very easily resolved with some kind of grassroot level push from all of us, lawyers and law makers. If USCIS can process 50,000+ applications in a matter of days, what is preventing another govt. agency from processing a similar number of applicants in a couple of weeks? Only thing is that they all need to be made aware of this injustice. I believe this is the next agenda that IV should take up.
I am going to send a PM to IV core regarding this issue. Any one else with me on this?
Cheers,
