Ombudsman Report: reference - Page 47
Finally, considering the data contained in the December
11, 2009 I-485 Inventory Report, the Ombudsman notes
that out of 141,019 EB-3 green card cases queued-up
worldwide, approximately 43 percent are chargeable to
India, and 64 percent of the cases with priority dates
before 2004 similarly are chargeable to India. Without
attempting to predict future EB-3 wait times, based on the
high percentage of applicants from India in queue, the data
suggest that many thousands of green card applicants of Indian nationality will be waiting years, if not decades, for
the approval of their green card cases.

As far as I understand - $ 90 for Passports mailed to CGI houston, $ 150 is when you personally go there for Passport renewal.

This is the precise reason I am staying away from IV, people just dont show any civility in the forum discussions and starts name calling or shot down the people who ask questions.
If IV comes up with just one single GOAL of reducing the curent EB backlog for the restorgressed categories, people even from RoW countries will start participating in IV campaign and support IV's advocacy efforts in terms of their donations and volunteering for IV.
Reducing the current EB backlog will help everyone.
Yes I agree we should try to avoid name calling.
But think for a moment if you had to spend 1-2 hours a day volunteering for free and no benefit to you, and people come in asking you 10-20 questions and demanding things. How would you feel?
I assure you these are just normal people. well if you find them cursing there is a genuine reason for that.
Its the job of every one including those asking questions to work, not just complain.
We don't have a paid call center or support center.
If you are getting good customer service elsewhere, its coming out of your money.

Having said that, this will be the right time to purse this agenda...Many of the folks suggested, counting date for citizenship from I-485 receipt date or I-140 receipt date. If you google 'Backdate GC', we can see that many other folks in murthy, rajiv khanna forums are also talking about this. So, we might have enough members to pursue this further. Many of us have been here close to 10 years (Me from 2000 on F1, OPT, H1B etc). Its only fair to have some of those years counted towards citizenship.
Pappu, IV leadership,
Please let us know how to proceed further on this...
Yes, I like this one too and posted about this a few times. We can take this agenda forward. I think we'll have a lot of supporters...
This might already be in IV's agenda. Pappu? Can you shed some light in this matter?

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.
Many of you may not find my observations interesting or you have also come across something similar. This is however for those of our friends who are yet to write to law makers!
Following are some of the obesravtions which I would like to share:
1. Letters posted (not emails) seem to be read and replied. (Ofcourse, most of us are now so much used to email that it is difficult to print and post, but I still think it is worth the effort)
2. Unless the subject line refers to a "specific bill no." the answers are very generic. In fact many such responses are not relevant at all
3. Whenever the letters have been to the point and within ONE PAGE, they seem to draw attention.
4. I have tried to meet my Congressman for about 2 years, but in vain. However, over a period of time I have been able to develop some friendship with his immigration assistant. They are the people who prepare notes and present it to the Congressman
5. Recently I got a response from one of the Senators on the S1085 bill. He is a Democrat and has stated that he is supportive of the bill and that it is currentlyundergoing "judicial review by the Senate". I really do not know what it means, though!
5. Regarding CIR I got a clear letter from Mr McCain stating that unless the "borders are secure and sealed" CIR does not make any sense. I have once again written to Sen McCain that we are legal immigrants and would like to seek his support as well as thatof all Senators and Congressmen, from both parties. I am yet to get a response. Once I get a response I will share it with all of you
6. I am no writing a 2 separate letters (one about the new bill about passing on Lottery Visas to EB) and also another about the fate of of HR 5882. I would also be writing the Congressman who has sponsored this "Lottery Visa" about the HR5882.
The task is uphill and very difficult. We have no option but to try the beaten track. Many of us are here for more than a decade and the end is never so near. Time does not wait and we cannot board a time machine to get back in time! I am one such person who left UK and came here! Had I continued there I would have become a citizen 2 years back!
Perhaps we can try the Gandian method of "mass satyagraha" which is a very peaceful means, to highlight our situation. We can do it in summer, may be in June / July and start working in this direction. Not sure how many will scoff at me, but perhaps it is worth the try.
GOD BLESS all our friends who have been patiently waiting for ages!
Best wishes!

Can i have both the address to be a India permanent address? Is there any way to avoid US address in passport? Presently i am on H1 visa. I have entered with L1 visa which is expired. Later my company transferred me to H1 visa which is not stamped. What are the documents i need to submit for visa proof?

I don't know if there was a memo. I think AILA communicated this to the lawyers and I read it on Ron Gotcher's forum.
Apparently, the re-interpretation of laws were based on the changes in AC21, something they were ignoring till 2008.
Removal of country quota in EB catagories (if excess visa's available in any catagory, becuse of 7% impossition) was due to AC21 law. This was a result of hard effort by similar group like IV in 1998/99. DOS paid attention to this law only in 2007 (after 7 years). I think some lawyers/AILA brought this to DOS.

Very few will come here if you mention about contributions in the title.
Well, if not that, at least make it obvious that it comes from the right source. I misunderstood this thread as somebody making malicious attack at the core group and disregarded it (though it has been started by a core member). It would help if we can understand who started the post (Like we can do, when we check the india-forums for the TV shows), so that people understand the importance (This may seem as nitpicking but it does make a difference because we dont read everything).
On a second note, even after giving the correct email, i have not received a email from IV like some others have mentioned, after the introductory email after joining in the first time (It would have made me do the pledge earlier if I had gotten the email considering that many of us are infrequent loggers and have a busy travelling schedule).
Just a thought.

I have received messages from people who have been here around 10 years without a GC. I wonder how common this is. What do you think about proposing a "fast track" for people who have been here legally for more than a certain amount of time?
Thanks for your efforts.
My suggestion is: those who have maxed out their 6 yrs on H-1B + have atleast crossed the labor and I-140 stage; should be automatically granted the green card.
These are the people who are really stuck, because if their green card does not get approved, they have no option but to return. Also, if they lose their job they are out of options as they cannot seek another H1B extension or transfer.
Typically, these people would have young children who were born here, and go to school here. These children sing the US national anthem and pledge allegience to the flag everyday at their school. Making these people wait and wait for their green cards helps no one. They are not taking anyones jobs, they are educated, civilized people. They have proved their usefulness to their companies and the society over the past 7~8 years.
