Since this topic is already being discussed....
I live in Illinois and have to renew my passport at Chicago consulate. My original passport was issued for 5 years only so as per the website, I need to file for "Renewal of short validity passport".
http://chicago.indianconsulate.com/Passpins.html#Renewal__of_Short_Validity_Passport_
But when I click on the link (under download form) itt actually open the "Misc service" form. http://chicago.indianconsulate.com/pdfforms050703.htm
Does anyone know which form to use?
Thanks

A very sensible message from sw33T.
I have to agree with him about the look and feel of our website.
We have to give a facelift for our website. I'm pretty sure we'll have

Hello IV:
Time and again I see most members skeptical on efforts such as those organized by IV. I happened to surf upon the NumbersUSA website and the general outlay of the website clearly establishes their objectives and motto. Although IV is fighting for a niche stage in the legal immigration process, a stage which almost all non-immigrants have to pass through, it is my perspective that this is never clearly communicated. The NumbersUSA website is visually more informative.
"Why don't you do it for us?" may be one of the questions resulting from this post. I simply don't have the time which is why I am hoping that my recurring contribution of $50/month can be used for such a purpose.
Also, a blogspot for the CORE team members and their efforts would nicely keep us busy non-immigrant professionals encouraged on daily or weekly efforts by IV. I honestly swing by everyday to see what IV is upto by frantically looking for a relative subject in the posts of the forum. Alas, only to be deceived by requests for contribution which I am humbly not discouraging, but it is heartburning to swing by IV and then look over the House Clerk's website to see what was in session for the day and what we might potentially be upto, leaving the battle plan of IV to my creative and tired mind.
"Why contribute if you don't have faith in us?" you may ask. Simple! I feel proud to be an immigrant and fighting for our rights. Not a day passes by when my mind plays tricks on me to sell my 62" Plasma TV, my comfy leather sofa, my Playstation 2 and the two part-time business ventures I formed which will potentially employ 20 americans and give business to marketing, promotions and other agencies to help the venture succeed, to return back to India.
I am still searching for the right answer...
Hopefully, my small contribution to IV to aid their massive efforts will help me come closer to the truth and ultimately my decision.
Do please stay united in your efforts, for the day will never end for non-immigrants alike in their endeavour to succeed and live life hoping that every day they can make a difference in people's lives not knowing that there is no difference in their own because they are caught in a web of misinformed albeit ignorant citizens and this mythical Green(C) monster.
For all those non-believers, kudos to you for you seem to have mastered the fine art of ignorance without guilt and self-deception.
Here is my signature -
$25 + $50/month so far. Millions in the future if I succeed through my mighty keyboard. :)

CALIFORNIA IMMIGRATION LAW FIRM FILES CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST USCIS ON BEHALF OF IMMIGRANTS
Posted on: 6/20/2008
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles � Reeves & Associates, A Professional Law Corporation filed a class action lawsuit today in the U.S. District Court, Central District CA, Case Number SACV08-688 JVX (SHx) on behalf of tens of thousands of immigrant families whose adult children have been wrongfully denied of visas. Attorneys for the families are seeking to compel the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (�USCIS�) to act in accordance with the provision of Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) that enables children to reunite with their families more quickly.
Prior to CSPA children who reached the age of 21 were no longer eligible to obtain an immigrant visa with the rest of their family. These children became known as �age-outs.� However, Congress enacted Section 3 of CSPA, codified as INA � 203(h)(3), to keep children together with their parents. Specifically, this provision allowed children to automatically convert the visa petition and retain the original filing date � known as the priority date � after the child had aged out. As such, an aged-out child, who is a derivative beneficiary of the visa petition of his parent, can reunite with their family faster by utilizing their parent�s earlier priority date. As of today, USCIS has not only failed to comply with INA � 203(h)(3), but has also failed to promulgate regulations or issue policy memorandum regarding this provision of law.
�This case affects tens of thousands of immigrant families,� said Robert L. Reeves, founder and Managing Attorney of Reeves & Associates, APLC. �A child abroad who aged-out is eligible under CSPA for an immigrant visa, and if the child is in the United States, he or she will be able to adjust to legal resident status,� explained Mr. Reeves.
The class action lawsuit presents two different classes of aggrieved individuals. Nancy Miller, a partner with Reeves & Associates and co-counsel, describes the two classes as �those who filed petitions with requests for retention of the parent�s original priority date whose petitions were denied and those who have received no response at all to their requests for retention of the original priority date.� In both cases parents remain separated from their children.
Although USCIS has granted some visa petitions and permitted retention of the earlier priority dates pursuant to INA � 203(h)(3) to some, there appears to be no uniform policy from USCIS as a whole. Jeremiah Johnson, a partner with Reeves & Associates and co-counsel, said �the lack of any regulations or even policy memorandum has lead to arbitrary and inconsistent decision-making affecting thousands on a global level.� Joyce Komanapalli, an associate with Reeves & Associates and co-counsel, added �USCIS�s refusal to issue visa petitions with the original priority date is at odds with the language, structure, history and purpose of the Child Status Protection Act.�
�It is incomprehensible why USCIS would deny these requests given the plain language of the statute and the Congressional history of CSPA.� said Mr. Reeves.
The class action lawsuit is seeking to compel USCIS to properly adjudicate all cases filed under CSPA, or INA � 203(h)(3), and comply with the requirements of retaining the parent�s original priority date in subsequent petitions filed by the parent.

I am got audited at Atlanta. and I know many Chinese like me were stuck there too.
Please open a new thread at to get more Atlanta victims here!!!
and I would like to put this url on some Chinese immigration forum to get more data. But before that, could you please let me know what the next step so that I could get more People in.
That is exactly my point that Perm Audit is not focused on Nationality, Field or EB category. If most people are from India, China, Philippines then automatically most audit cases are going to be from these countries.
Are you also being audited?

I think BPC and new case PERM is same, if it is same position then employer has to withdraw the first case as of DOL new FAQ, if it different position then shouldn't have to withdraw the case, possibly audited by the DOL as of above explained rule..... If the case is audited how long it usually take DOL to decide,
For 2nd Case should we file by mail, providing certain reason with the application?

What's up with this site. I thought they updated the server yesterday and we shouldn't see the kind of downtime as we have been seeing in the past but I still don't see any difference. Did the server upgrade not make any difference. May be we should do a fund raising for server upgrade only. This is so frustrating that whenever there is some exciting news, you can't rely on IV webpage because it goes down. If core team needs money for server upgrade, I am all for it but someone please fix this.

Thanks akerd, for posting the link about Accenture-India head count surpassing Accenture-US head count.
Now allow me to ask questions from some members of this form who tend to use the phrase "Indian companies" with negative connotation in their every post.
Do you think Accenture to be an "Indian Company"?

Starsun I would request you to put in another clarification for the benefit of all so that IV Core's stand is well known and published. Predictions & calculations help people to know what the ground reality is and plan their lives. Now we don�t have people on IV whether EB2 or EB3 being sad after every VB because everyone knows when to expect what and predictions and calculations IMHO has gone a long way in correcting that situation.
I read several posts promoting advocacy which is very good however they take pride in trashing predictions and calculations for no apparent reason it seems to be in fashion / vogue. If advocacy has to be promoted it has to be done in a positive way there is no need to trash predictions and calculations at every available opportunity. Some of these immature comments are very disrespectful to the effort that is being put in my many of us on the predictions blog. If some people do not like what is being done on that blog they are really free not to visit but unnecessary comments should really stop or be moderated.
Teddy. The intention of such post is to tell people that they need to look beyond spending time on predictions. Predictions can help people know the extent of the backlog. For some it is a motivating factor because they were in the dark until USCIS started publishing data. People used to think their Greencard is round the corner and had no idea about the backlog. So yes the data and estimations have helped get a clearer picture. And this has benefited our community. IV has worked for several months to get the data from USCIS through its agenda item in the past. Today USCIS is publishing data at regular intervals because IV community had participated in a mass campaign to get FOIA data from USCIS. There is a whole history of advocacy behind the data everyone is using for prediction today and it was advocacy that got things done. However they should not get stuck with it and have a more 360 degree view of the issue. For some predictions are a source of encouragement for advocacy work. People leading predictions can play an important role in giving direction to others and help solve the root cause of the problem.They should be urged use it for the advocacy work as well if possible. For example a good research document can be made to illustrate visually the extent of backlogs and wait times. This document can be then circulated to media and lawmaker offices. Do not look at predictions in isolation. Secondly, the data people are using is still incomplete and has lot of assumptions. I had posted some update on the data in the donor forum early this month based on a recent meeting. So predictions we see on the forums will not be fully correct. People need to use predictions as means rather than consider it as an end.

Nice post, i came to the US in 1996 for my masters, followed all rules to the T and got stuck. I am on my 4th AP and EAD (5th if you consider OPT). I think main problem is that we are trying to solve too many issues with limited ammunition. Start with a single point agenda for the short term...lets say recaptuing unused visas or something that is the least controvertial and focus on pushing it at every available opportunity. Currently we see a new proposal everyday and all they do besides encouraging debate (which is good) is motivate bystanders to distort the issue and divide the group.
Totoro
Commendable effort. The ideas presented in the forum and your personal experience as well as some research by you were taken to the people who might have some say in this process. The outcome of it does not matter right now, atleast the process has started and we need to follow on it with some targeted activity. Lot of my fellow IV'ians gave suggestions and some presented stories too. I did come across this thread only today and I missed out on an opportunity to present my story but nevertheless others have done so, i am somewhat lucky that despite the pain and hardship I did get my GC a year and half ago but I feel the pain my friends go through every day and continue to associate with IV.
I have read through each and every post made in this thread and these are good responses. There are some very good proposals - some likely to benefit a small set of
people ( GC's for Master's from US universities) and others wide encompassing.
I think the fix for this needs to go beyond smaller subsets of people.
A single master stroke is not going to erase the backlog it will need a series of fixes and the best way to go about it is to push for 1 or 2 main goals which will eliminate most of the issues. IV's core efforts are in the right direction.
IV'ians need to be united in getting a broadly accepted solution to majority of people rather than a small minority. Clearly my allegiance lies with people with priority dates which are more than 5 years old, people who are stuck in backlog centers, name check's and unexplained delays for no fault of theirs. This is not to belittle other people who are in the line for their GC's everybody have to wait their turn.
Friends who are espousing the cause of faster GC's for US Masters, do not sit on the high pedestal and belittle the people who came in on 'work visas'. They have as much right as you to have that 'Green card'. The time is not to fight EB2 vs EB3 or by ethnicity. A big deluge starts with a small drop of water, let us begin somewhere and once we get a fix to the larger problem other things will fall in place.
oh for the people who are ready to bash me, please see my profile, been in this country since 1996 and earned 2 Masters and yet classified as EB3 by employer. Yes I joined IV late officially but I try to do my bit in whatever way I can.

immuser - I agree, although I rent a 2 bed 2 bath 1000 sq feet apartment. It is nowhere close to a 4 bedroom home. Nevertheless, I sleep very well at night knowing the fact that I have zero debt on my head in this economy. For some people it is very important! There are people out there, with 100K debt and they have no worries.
When you lose all your battles, home is a place where you come back and think, at least I have a roof on my head. In this country, home has become a place, when after losing all your battles, you come back and think, what do I do with this elephant?
I do not need an elephant like this!
"One can have a good quality of life in a small apartment...."
Not true - a small apt is a small apt no matter what. Yes, you can live with peace of mind in a small apt, and yes you can live happily in a small apt. This does not equate to quality of life. The "quality of life" in a 4 bedroom house with back yard is greater than that in a small 650 sq ft single bedroom apt ( if you put the same person who was happy in the small apt into the 4 bedroom house - even if his happiness level remains the same, his quality of life just went up)

I got my original passport renewed at Houston. Here are my details.
Original Passport expiring on Feb 05/2011. Sent the completed application form with all the required documentation to Houston on June 17th. Received new passport on Jul 07/2010.
Prompt service in less than 3 weeks. Last week I emailed them requesting the status of my application and never got a reply. Tried to reach them on the phone, but no one answered. Was getting little concerned as I have an upcoming trip by end of this month. Got the fedex this afternoon. Very good service.
Thanks

Was getting little concerned as I have an upcoming trip by end of this month. Got the fedex this afternoon. Very good service.
Thanks

I agree with the contents of the post. Personally, I have been writing letters regularly to the Congressman, the Senators of my State and also to the President. In most cases I have received responses.
Best wishes!
I think we need to grab the the opportunity for this "Diversity Lottery Bill" and keep it alive and on forefront. If this happens, it will be a boon for EB category.
If you are not already in, you can make a team from people from the group "Want to file I 485 thread" so that we can have a team of 20-30 dedicated people doing the same advocacy what you two guys are doing.

Dont worry. If your LC still in BEC with old PD you are more luckier than the guys going to file 485 now. DOL commited to clear backlong by Sep 2007. Oct VB will come up with priority dates in stone age. If your PD is very old you will get GC with in 6 months. Filing 485 in July and Aug with very new PD will not bring them any fruit. They have to wait more years. 750K 485 and 750K EAD and 750K AP will result in choking the CIS system. They will feel the challange of renewal on time.
I am very conficent that USCIS is not going to process all 750K at a time. They will definitly modify the processing method, fom current practice. First, they can not schudle FP for all 750K applicants in available ASC centers. So, they will sort the 485 based on PD, and process tham based on PD and country and catagory wise. A guy with PD 2007, will not get FP notice very near to his PD become current.
so, you will be in better shape.
Well said....The reality of situation is the only benefit for people who are filing now is the ability to change jobs after 6 months. As far as GC is concerned, it wont become reality for at least 5 or more years for people with 06-07 priority date
