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.

This is not fair to the person who blew the wistle and alarmed people about the situation. I think we should know and analyze these facts. Most importantly, with all the policy change and lobbying we are trying to do, why can't we make sure that USCIS does its job in a fair, transparent, orderly way!
The reason there is a lot of "rumor" is simply due to those government agencies' imcompentencies, which resulted in lack of confidence and trust from the public.
They CANNOT do whatever they want any more SO LONG AS we stand up to our rights. Don't wait till the problems show up again! Act now to prevent them from happening... at least to get our voice heard so that the whole green card thing will no longer be like a lottery!

Dhundhun,
What is your PD? There is a portion of the memorandum that needs your child's age at the later of the date when PD is current or when petition is approved if PD is current by petition approval date.
I think you should submit an I-485 for your child as soon as possible or if the child is not in the US then file a I-824 immediately. This will serve as proof that your child "sought LPR status" within one year of your PD becoming current. Even if the 485 or 824 is rejected, you have established the fact that your child "sought LPR status" and leave room for administrative appeal in future.
This is just my 2 cents and I am not a lawyer. However, whichever way you interprete the new memorandum your child's CSPA age is under 21.

I read from another post that there are a total of 233k EB applications. Considering there are 140k available per year, should'nt this list be cleared in 2 years even if another 50k still apply in the next 2 years? What am I missing?

Instead of writing a letter, why not start with a phone call. Find out a bit about the staff ahead of time (Google, Linkedin, etc.) and then call the person that is most likely to be helpful. Then ask for a meeting.

gc4me : Pardon me, but how is citizenship not a relevant issue to legal immigrants? If you're not worried about citizenship issues, then why are you even infesting this thread? Many people, including me, might be interested. And I have indeed contributed, although I don't see how that is any of your business and as long as this website isn't being hosted on your home computer, I don't see what gives you the right to ask it of anyone in a patronizing tone. It's simple really, if you're not interested in any issue, just stay away. No one needs your BS sarcasm or disapproval.
supplychainwallah : you seem to have pretty deep-rooted issues. I recommend you get some anger management counselling.
I totally second that. Saralayar has raised a very valid issue and its up to IV and core memebers to take it or not. Getting GC should not be the end of the story, we ought to think beyond that. had this GC process been consistant and FIFO, there would not have been any problem with the fact "citizenship after 5 years of GC". Now this GC thing is so screwed up, we might want to include citizen ship issue as well but definitely, at the very lowest priority.

I don�t buy the argument that only India and China produce the brightest people who are willing to work here in U.S. There are just as many people from Europe and the rest of the world who are just as qualified and who would want to work in the U.S. The problem starts with the H1-B visas, where most of them are taken by these Indian IT consulting companies. Correct me if I�m wrong, but I don�t think these IT companies hire non-Indian workers. There are many qualified people from the rest of the world who are willing to work here in U.S, but can�t because the majority of the H1-B visas is going to Indians and Chinese nationals. Perhaps, there should be a per-country quota at the H1-B level. I don�t think there is anything wrong with the current country quota; if some countries don�t use their quotas then these quotas roll into the countries that have higher demand.
I second that. As long as there is widespread abuse -- large numbers of Indian body-shops and consulting companies that import people by the thousands -- and as long as that skews the numbers, there should also be checks and balances -- per-country limits. Per-country limits and diversity argument are a good way to restore the balance and offset for the abuse.
I'm really tired of hearing people saying that diversity is for FB or for DV visa. What make FB immigration a better candidate for diversity?!? Absolutely nothing. The law provides for diversity in ALL immigration categories -- EB, FB, DV, etc., and there is nothing discriminatory about it. The discrimination comes from companies that abuse the system, import thousands of consulting workers with 3-year degrees who don't really have jobs but sit on the bench for 8-10 months at a time (something that's explicitly disallowed by H-1B law), and then apply for I-140/I-485 going through an unending sequence of RFE's, NOIDs, MTR's, etc. and slowing the system to a crawl. Now these people want the whole world to suffer with them by "distributing" the pain. Why?
If somebody takes care of this abuse, the remaining really qualified Indian/Chinese workers who really deserve to be here will find that they won't need a separate category because there won't be any severe backlogs for their countries.

Bring the border control, and add in tough enforcement on business that hire illegals - and then you still will have to address the people who are still here illegally. It may not be 12 million, but millions will still remain. That issue has to be addressed. The current president has said that they are to be a given a "path to legality" - pay the fine (yes, it may be trivial in our standards, but not theirs) and get in line. It is not blanket amnesty either.
Yes tough border control and employer monitoring should be there. Progress on the second is improving , a bit slowly.
Yes I am ok for a path to legality, but from my previous post, only if all of them are accounted for and have background check, get all their finger prints, retina scan, and at least 1/2 would get deported with criminal backgrounds.
We cannot have 4 million legalized and 3 million criminals hiding in the background. Also as CIR says only after the border is 100% secure, else you will have 10s of 1000s jumping the border everyday when this bill is passed.
Well the illegals kids also already got citizenship/amnesty in the millions.
What reform was needed first? immigration reform before health reform? lets fix the problems of the foreigners first, and then lets take care of the dying?
I actually meant reform to improve un-employment was needed first. What good is medical insurance if there's only $100 in the bank. Well anyway they seem to have exhausted all their resources, bailouts.
absolutely! wouldn't you? they play the game of leverage and we would do the same.
They have leverage only until they are deported! Yeah I agree, but its more a hallmark of underworld, that many are entwined with, rather than a civilized society.
The sad thing that separates our community from theirs is that they stand up for their own people irrespective of wealth. Take our community - of the hundreds who got the green card/citizenship - how many stay to help us? Why are the older generation of Indian immigrants fighting the new comers?
Agreed. Also there are 13.5 Asian Americans in the US, enough of a vote bank. All EB3s are at 2005. Mexico is at priority date 2001, which is worse than India, China. There are about 30 million Mexican immigrants, in the US, probably 15 million legally present. Most immigrant in EB3 from Europe and around the world are also affected.
There are probably about 30-40 million people or more Citizens/ GCs/immigrants , from retrogressed countries in the US..
I haven't seen citizens, GCs in large numbers supporting our cause. Would they rather see the country brimming with laborers?

hellomms Could you gather all such people who are facing this issue and want to join the effort to fix it, at a single place on an IV thread. Once we have a sizable number of people to take initiative this effort can be successful. It is difficult to divert attention and resources for a single person. Each immigration issue that our community faces is important to the person suffering from it. IV is a place where people can get together and do something about fixing it.

I am in a similar situation. My wife who is on H1B did not worked till date.
Is it possible if she carries the vacation letter from the employer and go to India for H4 stamping? My wife do not have any paystubs.
I have also contacted my attorney and waiting for his response. I am running out of time due to the GC priority dates being current. If the attorney does that while she is in the country, it would take around 4-6 months. By then, the priority dates might be retrograted.
I believe you have a answer. Please respond.
Lawyers manage to do it if you are within the "unofficial" no paystub permissible timelimit. Or They manage by getting vacation letter etc... Contact a good lawyer.

While filing for 485 you must show that you were legally in the country, hence copies of H1/H4 need to be submitted as proof. Since H4 wasn't filed, she is essentially presumed out of status. I don't know the details on explanation and filing extension, but the lawyer seems to know more than we people.

Advocating without the added support of the lobbyists does not work in favor of us...
Defenitely we also need a powerful lobby. Illegals probably have the best lobby out there hampering our efforts.
I can understand their motivation, as they're basically getting thousands of dollars free for jumping the border, and they want to take it further.
We legals have paid taxes and contributed more than we earn and are weary of seeing this.
Another small suggestion - could we also add compensation for members who have face to face meeting with lawmakers? This may be some small motivation for them. Funds from adds could be diverted to give preference to direct meeting on a large scale.
We don't have millions to influence public opinion, but have enough for 500 lawmakers.
Illegals don't need motivation because they're stealing, begging for other free stuff.
exclude me, I don't want anything.
