Thanx Pappu, for helping in this campaign!
One more member to join by weekend!
Everyone, please add just ONE member!!!
I had two more of my friends join on the 12th of dec, I just called them and confirmed.
What I have been realising, is that just inviting friends sending emails or "Invite a Friend"
feature on the website is not at all enough. You almost have to follow up with one or two phone calls.
"oh! great, I did not know there is an organisation, I will join it". is very amazing to see the
other extreme of "how can legislation help" to "what is a visa number" and "I-485?"
Anyways it is awareness that we have to build. People affected do not know, there is an organisation that
is working, that they can help and help themselves.
I urge to call and follow up, meet personally if possible. Last night again I met 1 other couple and talked to them
about immigration. I know some people feel it is personal to ask about status of their GC Process. I suggest you
talk to them about your process, and how limited visa numbers and retrogression with country quotas is creating
this bottleneck. Talk to them that without legislative change, they are looking at 6-10 years or more.

USCIS has already made everything 'U', starting with August and this year's quota is finished. Also now they have a little advantage that everyone who can file I-485 will file it. They now have all the applications and all the numbers to calculate for next few years.
Don't you guys think that the USCIS will probably keep on moving the dates by as much only to accomodate the quota numbers.
Also, BEC has targetted Sep '07 to clear all labor backlogs and new I-485 approvals won't start before Oct '07. Older PDs will (as they always had) have golden value.
Once bitten twice shy, USCIS will not make the mistake of making dates 'C' in a long time.
2006-07 filers have intermittent releif of EADs which BEC or pre-PERMs never dreamt of :) (that includes me)
This is what looks logical and this will do justice to all.

let me take a guess - at the minimum - 2 years for your PD and 4-5 years for my PD.
For you and me isnt it < 1year?
485 Inventory (http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/Green%20Card/Green%20Card%20Through%20a%20Job/Employment%20Based%20I-485%20Pending%20Inventory%20as%20of%20May%2027%202 010.pdf)
going by using unused visa from worldwide allocation within the category ie eb3 for 2011 year, 42.6k visas will help clearing off 9356 peinding cases till Jan 2003?
Am I missing anything?
Why eb2 were processed with 7K cases worldwide and only 700 for eb3 worldwide?
If 42600 / 4 = 10650 cases can be processed per quarter in eb3 , why only 700 were processed?

I asked the admin and other senior people. But no one bothers to respond.
I have been in touch with the the administrators and they have been very prompt and supportive regarding this initiative. We have been communicating almost on a daily basis.
Like any other initiative or the campaign, the more people and voices we have the stronger the campaign is, I am glad to see the 50 number mark but if we need to make this a solid campaign we need to have at least twice as many people as what we have now. Imagine how many people apply for LC, 50 of them having issue with the process is not going to convince any body that there is a problem.
I am still trying to get people together but that does not prevent us from brain-storming the ideas or even taking actions that does not require a mass scale of support from other people (e.g. lobbying with politicians, etc.)

It would be great if IV moderators can setup an automated WebFax to all these Congressmen (in CHC) that all members of IV can utilize. I am waiting for a feature like that.
We should use a standard template with a standard message which will get appended with the contact information of the IV member who sends that.
Also, pass whatever cost for this feature to the IV member who is sending the fax. You can count two adults from my family who are ready to pay for such an effort.
Only if we setup something like that, we could achieve responses in massive numbers. We need to make sure that the effort from an individual IV member remains minimal even if it costs 20-40 dollars. That way, we can increase the number of fax submissions.
Waiting to see such a facility. Please let me know, how I can help with this effort.

Yes, that is what the trend look like. There is probably another 5-10% fall in the works. Perhaps even more. I agree with you on that.
However, the million dollar question is how do you know the prices have actually bottomed one? Won't you go ahead and buy if its affordable, instead of wasting precious years which shorten the career span and deferring your decision? Its almost like deciding when to have your first child...well..almost. There is never really a good time, is there?
By affordable, I mean its around 'x' times your (dual) income, you have your green card and you are prepared to live in the US for next 5 years at least (even if there is any family emergency, you don't have any compulsion to sell off your assets and move to India for good). Now, 'x' may mean different for different people but generally people seem to agree x = 3. And I also agree with you that it might happen that american housing is always affordable. Yes, it might but for most middle class in SFO Bay area, when x was 7-10, it wasn't affordable at all!
I completely oppose folks like Slumdog doing something terribly rash (no gc, no prospect of gc within a year, single income with a baby, baby having some health issues and to top it all the burden of a heavy mortgage on the shoulders, god, I think his situation is simply awful...) but the way I read it is that these indeterminate immigration waits are making people throw caution to the winds.
And I don't agree with folks who feel that buying your house is like renting it out simply because it is mortgaged. There is big difference, eventually its get all paid off and you start actually owning it. Secondly, for a lot of people that they can sell it during their retirement and use the sale proceeds to cover the retirement life. There is very good chance real estate would have appreciated over long term. Of course, you are just interested in 'flipping' you are asking for big trouble.
I bought my house in 2004 and here we are in 2009 - stayed 5 years . house went up to $430 ( from $330K) and then down to $300. Lost 10% so far . I made sure that mortgage+living expenses is within 1 salary (have dual income) . if I stay another 3-4 years i will break even at any price. Yes if i would have bought house in 2006 (peak) and got a job problem in 2008 yes- i would be in terrible situation.
Let's say if i would not bought the house - i would have used 10% down payment ( $33K) in some kind of investment (Stocks, bonds or CDs'). Based upon today's stock market i would have lost 30% on that until i would have withdrawn in 2008 Jan where market was at peak.
There is never really a good time, is there? . Now housing is almost bottom and interest rate is so low now - but job market is terrible and you need to be careful about your job. Now let's say job market get's better in 2010 and you plan buy a house in 2011. you think you will have everything in order in 2011 . Make no mistake, you will another set of worry and things to take care.
You need to take best decision based upon ur situation and need to minimize risk. You can only minimize the risk and not eliminate. A certain degree of risk is there in every step of life.

GCPerm, Good answers. I commend you for that.
Otherwise, I sincerely believe even after I get my green card, we should focus on resolving this green card backlog mess and if we can get green card holders and US Citizens to support this cause it woule be better.
Maybe you are not able to relate to what EB3 candidates go through. Yes it is a choice we made to wait in this country. A lot of EB3 people qualify for EB2 based on their qualifications and experience but were put into EB3 due to company's choice or attorney's mistake.
But no person should be made to wait for an answer of whether their application is going to be approved for 8-10 years.
The pre-adjudication in my opinion is a farce as it was more done to get their(USCIS) inventory calculated properly than ensuring the person is clear from all angles. Because, I know of about 5 people who are in EB2 who are sent RFE's now, after their dates have become current. They were supposedly pre-adjudicated as per the IO during the interview at the local office. some of them were fingerprints, some of them just to verify whether the husband and wife are still married etc.
Coming back to my point, there are EB3 applicants now who have a priority date of 2006, 2008 2009 etc. Can we accept a process which asks people to wait for 20 years to get a Yay or Nay for their application is the question. I think it is unacceptable. I believe more green card holders and US Citizens who are deciding to put their roots in USA should help the country to better the legal immigration system first before anything else.
Regarding citizenship as I mentioned before if you think you will not bail out after starting a campaign, then go ahead and lead it.
Let us not criticise any one further and look for very efficient way of presenting this to the right people.We welcome more ideas from other members then we will consilidate them and decide how we go with this.

Come to think of it, Sec. Rice said it was a case of miscommunication between the 2 agencies. Could it be that USCIS actually wanted them to make these dates current in August and DOS jumped the gun, and lot of people got screwed.

USCIS has to issue EAD within 90 days (and you are within the period) or else it has to issue an interim EAD, especially so that the applicant's job is not jeopardized.
http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/Rec35_010209.pdf
The Ombudsman office's recommendations:
The USCIS Ombudsman made some recommendations regarding EAD processing:
� Adhere to regulations that state USCIS shall issue Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) within 90 days, or issue interim EADs, to prevent unnecessary loss of employment;
� Expeditiously provide information to the public stating the cause of EAD processing delays and how the delays will be addressed;
� Ensure USCIS provide consistent guidance to the public regarding EADs pending more than 90 days via the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) toll-free number and local offices; and

While I did consider that when i was reading his email, is it not true that there were around 10000 visas wasted last year because of inability of USCIS processing the applications (essentially processing delays). Should we assume that USCIS ability has increased 4 times this year?
There is one major flaw in your lawyers analysis.
He is correct in saying that they issued 11,111 GC's per monththis year, but however that was under retrogression when dates were so far behind (dates for EB2 and EB3 India hadnt moved for ever). His analysis does not take into account those whose 485's may have been pre approved but were not issued a GC due to date not being current. We are not talking about new applications being approved but those whose applications were already preapproved and just waiting for visa numbers.
Anyway no one knopws what will really happen. Just file as early as possible and leave the rest to luck or divine power. Jo hoga dekha jayega, but this is not the time for tyupical desi procascination.
