1. I'm happy for those who can file for I-485 now. good luck, file it soon. don't delay.
2. But for the other applicants who are struck in BEC from 2003/2004, we are with you and we will work with IV to address EB related GC issues. I know BEC set Sept 30, 2007 as final date to process pending labor applications and many cases are approved.
So wait and fight for few more months and then file I-140/485 concurrently. IV will keep these people in their mind and will work hard during CIR or strive bill discussion so that no restrictions are put on your application while filing I-140/485. our prayers are with you.
Since the dates are going to retrogress in next few months or so, we need to request USCIS & lawmakers to allow filing I-485 even if visa numbers are not current, exempt spouse & dependents from quota, remove hard country limit, and so on....

Why NON GC holders DONOT want to buy houses ?
Category 1: Undecided & Playing safe
These are people who want to play Safe. Fair enough!! But at the same time I want to say that they should not assume that they are no more intelligent or smarter than people who bought houses. They just want to be playing safe until they make sure that they have some kind of assurances / stability in their life. In this case Green Card. I agree with all the points these categories people make but they have to realize that most the people who bought houses have passed this Category & have come to a decision because they already lost valuable time in their part of life. It�s easy to play safe when you are in 20�s but my question is for how long & at what price? Does any know when & if they will get their actually green cards? There are some who has the time & energy who can play safe but not many people has that quality time in their life to keep playing safe. Most of them are here 8 years or more & still waiting & they are already in Mid 30�s. Yes these people will certainly wait if the govt says that you will get green in so & so year. If you look back if a family who immigrated in 2000 with a 5 year old kid almost killed their children�s career because we still haven�t come to conclusion where to settle. Satyam Employees who lost/loosing a job didn�t need a GC but so many are in the verge of loosing their homes. It�s the market conditions which is leading into these discussions. I have never heard people talking about this topic when the housing market was booming.
Just as people who bought houses respect your decision, you should also respect them on decisions they make because they chose to live a life which might be different than yours but most of them put their family first when they make these decisions & not for any material benefits.
One also has to understand that the people who bought the houses were in this category for a long time before they decided to buy a house.
Category 2: Money Money Money
These people do not want to buy houses not because they cannot afford or they want to play safe. They just don�t want to spend. All they care is Saving, Saving, saving their entire life & keep filling their bank balances. Often strangely both couples are working. These are people who want to live in cheapest rent (even with double income) in single bedroom & they don�t mind children sleeping in their bed room. They don�t mind sending their children to low grade schools. They don�t mind their in-Laws or parents when they visit sleeping in living room on the floor. Their intention to come into this country is only for earning money & because they don�t have high ambitions & all they care is saving & not spending, they just think of saving in all possible ways. They call themselves rich because of bank balances but in my view they are poor than most of homeless guys who live out streets.
Category 3: Unaffordable
They simply cannot afford due to multiple reasons like single Income, financial obligations etc.

Thanks for correcting me :) yes the Antibody titer test
And yes both me and my wife got it done. In fact my wife just got this done today.
Thank you sanan, I guess you meant Antibody titer test (immunization test)
So what you are saying is, if one does not has the Vaccination record, concern DR would do this immunization (Antibody titer) test in place of vaccination record and can you confirm that you have gone thru exact scenario ?

Hmmm,
I may as well tell my wife to accept the fact that she is likely to loose her job. Just got reply from my attorney to go for INFOPASS once 90 days have passed and request expedite.
akhilmahajan
Did you do INFOPASS or Service Request? Is that the same or different?
With Infopass appointment you get to meet IO (may be level I, or Level II) face-to-face, SR is done via phone.

1) Fast-track GC process for Masters degree holders from US universities. This will be the least controversial, boost admissions (and money) flowing into universities, and clear up backlog in regular GC queue. Its a win-win and most senators, congressmen have voiced support for it already. We can get very good support from University lobbyists also (if they exist!!).
If this process removes those with US Masters from the existing queue and puts them in a queue with no visa number limit, this is an excellent proposal. This might even eliminate the entire backlog.

Hi,
I havent received any emails from IV. I have a valid email account and verified twice. I haven't received a single email or newsletter.
Now its not a big deal as I have been following up all the events through website and also contributed..
But wanted to get it to the admin's attention so that they can check if there is some software glitch. There might be people like me who havent been receiving emails and are not visiting the website on a daily basis..
I have used my email address and phone number to sign up for the monthly contribution. I have not received any emails so far. I wonder if other members have received any. I think most members may have no idea about this recent action. Maybe it's not because that people would not contribute. We need to try our best to bring more members here.

Makes sense, like the idea of abolishing the waiting period for GC.... but with all due respect i belive that will never happen esp in a post 911 era where there is a lot of checks. I belive if they put the name check process in a fast track it would be benificial. Suks that we have to wait another 5 years after getting GC to get Citizenship, if anything i would think counting 5 years after 485 is logical.
I think we should not talk about abolisihing waiting time for citizesnhip (after GC) and no one as I see talking that.
Most of us are talking about REDUCING waiting time for Employment based GC holder, who is already here for several years.
Most practical thing might be to make it Similar to Marriage based Citizenship where you just have to wait for 3 yrs after GC.
So we can Request for reducing citizenship waiting period from 5 to 3 years for employment based GC holders who had paid atleast 5 years in the Federal taxes ( to preserve orignal intent of 5 year for family based GC holders waiting period for citizenship) , Have MS or Higher degree in STEM field ( Last time they tried to reduce one year for any one who can study and learn english) , Can pass Background Check and Moral Standards ( that is must for security purpose).

I got my passport renewed at CGI - Chicago. I mailed the passport docs out express mail on thursday. Reached them on Friday, monday was Columbus day, but to my surprise my passport was delivered exactly one week later. I recieved it on friday of the next week. Total time from start to finish 7 days. No mistakes on the passport either. I was very impressed. Anyway I heard that soon passports are being outsourced to TCS?
I cannot find a forum for CGI-CHI passport renewal so I posted this here. Many a time people only post when something goes wrong, for once everything went right!

Hunger strike ?, i dont know my friend, sounds like a neat idea to get attention, but then what happens if its becomes an indefinite hunger strike, i mean i hope you do understand the consequences of that.
I think we are at a stage where people are fed up with the process, but i hope good things happen to people who wait.
Sabar ka phal meetha hota hai :)
Waiting is all we have been doing for so many years. I have been living separately from my wife for last 3 years. When I reached out to Pappu on IV, he refused to do anything for me. I am ready to come forward and talk to media but nobody is here to listen.
I am seriously considering some media awakening event these days, it might be suicide or whatever it takes but this DOS stupidity has to stop. Its affecting so many people's life. I agree GC is not a right that we can demand from US government but they can't treat us like this after investing so many productive years for this Economy.
