Folks,
Need ur participation... I'm not an active member, but have done my part.
As you all know the famous saying, "Make hay when the sun shines", we have to act on right time to succeeed in our efforts. I see 800+ registered members.. Counting atleast $100 each, we should atleast be close to 50% of the target.. but it not the case here, Most of us have been in this country for years and also are planning to make this our home... Contributing $100, should not be a big deal.. Folks please join hands together... and help the folks who are actively working on this... .
Also each of us, already members in the group, atleast should try to get minimum one new member to this groups within next week time, we should be able to increase the membership rate dramatically and the contributions too....

both seem to be happening at the same time.
The dollar has fallen in comparison to other currencies such as the Pound/Yen/Euro mainly because of some poor economic indicators and worries about another recession etc. At the same time the Indian economy has been growing at breakneck speed causing rupee appreciation. I think both of these things will continue for a while with the Rupee hitting atleast 38 against the dollar.
This is mixed news for the economy I guess. IT outsourcing will hurt since its now more expensive for US customers, but on the other hand things like importing oil are easier for India.
To all those who think India will only do backoffice stuff, I think the next 3-5 years will bring about a sea change in this. Good work has been moved to India, and people are motivated to innovate and do new things. Things have always been more competitive in India (think IIT-JEE exams!!) and it does not take long for some of these folks to realize that they can start their own companies and come out with their own products. The market in India is also maturing to the point where it becomes a substantial consumer of hi-tech products. recent articles about the use of RFID and WiMax point to this. Also, VC interest has always been high in India, all the ingredients for a flood of startups are there, if only IISc in bangalore starts to incubate projects the way Stanford does here in the valley.

Your intentions are good - but the approach you took needs to be refined further. None of what I wrote above is personally against you - I appreciate your efforts but feel that we need to approach it differently - probably equating updates with money is not a good approach given that once someone gives money , they may start having a feeling of entitlement and we may not be ready to handle it.
Thanks for the appreciation. Without a doubt, the poll I have posted is clearly focused on a single dimension i.e. whether receiving more regular updates will help people get more involved and contribute more (whatever be that amount, it would be in addition to current status). While there could be several other ideas to increase participation level, this is what I felt was important to me and was looking to gauge if others felt similalry. However, I clearly don't have a patent on ideas - if you have a different approach or idea I would assume you wouldn't hesitate to pursue that to achieve our goals.
As far as as the notion that someone who gives money feels entitled to receive information - so, what's wrong with that? After all no one gives without any expectations and based on this poll, there are at least some of us for whom being informed along the process is one of those expectations, especially since none of our goals will be achieved overnight. I do not mean generic updates of the nature you have cited, but more specific status reports of who is/has been doing what and what action, if any, is expected of the rest of us in order to support. If the organization is not prepared to handle that, I think it needs our help to be able to achieve that goal! Being ready to provide these updates will only improve our organization's efficiency and effectiveness.

What are the conditions required for processing the 485 application.
1. Are all applications which have a 485 RD within the processing date, are processed? or
2. Only applications which have a RD within the processing date and whose PD is current, are processed.
As per the uscis approvals it was all happening randomly,,sometimes they stick with rules and sometimes not..ofcourse PD should be current but ProcessingDates vs 485 RD its still stands a mystery.

often times, i see that there are people who say India is getting better than US. Wages are going up. H1b is tiring. H4 dependents are not able to work.
but not once is the person posting the message declaring that he is leaving to India. He/She thinks that more "people from india will not come" . It is the person's ulterior motive that people from india should not come to US.
once i am in, let the doors close behind me.
Our attitude is playing one against another. We just need unity among ourselves.
EB1 against EB2. EB2 against EB3. EB3 against Family based etc. But fact of the matter is that our own brother/sister might belong to the same category. What if our parents fall sick. Would we want them to come to america or should we move back to India.
let us all be together in our efforts. If not, at the very least be neutral instead of imposing our thoughts on everyone else except the owner of the thought

The following statistics reflect a steady increase in the number of I-485 applications (including family-based and other cases) during the months before the July VB fiasco hit the roof as is shown in the following table:
Month New Receipt Total Pending
June 2007 69,098 597,844
It is not possible to have 600K total pending cases (= EB + Family + Asylum + Refugee + ...) cases because there were 1,275,795 pending cases in March (according to Ombudsman) AND it is not possible to give 600K+ GCs in 3 months: EB + Family = 140K + 226K = 366K.
So my understanding is that there were 600K pending EB cases in June. Does family-based GC application have I-485 stage?

I got a FP notice for next month. It is certainly not related to AP or EAD renewal, since I don't have any pending AP or EAD renewal. I got my EAD renewed last March and AP in May. So hoping that I got the FP notice since they started looking at my 485 application and something positive will be end result.
Good luck.
Did you leave US and come back during last year?

We will be lucky to see 1+ year movement for EB-2/3 India/China. My 2 cents..

�HIGH-TECH EMPLOYERS get lift from House Republican letter to Speaker Pelosi urging passage of immigration bill to help �attract and retain� high-skilled workers. But in the poll, 56% of Republicans earning more than $75,000 annually would �strongly� or �partially� agree with candidate who would bar illegal immigrants from path to citizenship�
What is the intent in relating high skilled legal immigrants and illegal immigrants, with the usage of the word �But� in the next sentence? It is gross disinformation and tries to blend together two disparate immigration issues. I would think the WSJ would know better, considering that English is the first language of it�s writers and editors.
Just for the record: High skilled legal immigrants are here LEGALLY and have jumped through all the hoops thrown at them by the system, but are yet to find a solution to their misery due to a system which refuses to revisit its antediluvian rules."

bkarnik,
You mentioned this in your message 'if the SKIL bill provisions are also included as amendments' , where did you get this ? are you making a guess ? If it gets included then nothing like it. DOL backlog gets cleared in 6 months. Return of Visa revalidation. Begin of I-140 premium processing etc. etc. Skill bill is too good.
Friends...please...the CIR is still better than the present situation we are in. It increases the H1B numbers, it increases the amount of GCs availbale per year, it excludes dependents from the quota, it excludes STEM advanced degrees (currently employed as well as future students) from the quota, it does require the illegals to wait at least 6 years before they can file papers for their GCs and then thay get to be at the back of the line, additionally, if the SKIL bill provisions are also included as amendments, it will also provide a premium processing facility for I485. The SKIL bill also mandates the DOL to clear all backlog within 6 months. The thinking is that by the time the undocumented aliens (somehow, I do not like the word illegal) enter the pipeline, the current backlog will be cleared and all dates will be current.
Given, the uncertainity in the process right now, I still feel that CIR is the way to go. Also, if it were not for the issue of the undocumented aliens, there would have been no incentive or push to do anything about the system and we would be stuck with this system. As far as the USCIS efficiency is concerned, I would not underestimate them either, the USCIS is known to be very efficient when it needs to (prime example the spectacularly efficient and successful H1 B premium processing system) so keep the faith and help yourselves achieve your dreams :)

Here is what you should do:
1. Print this memorandum

2. Take it and go for infopass.
3. Insist that they follow the procedures outlined in the memo. Do not leave until they do what they have to do according to the memo. They have to provide you a receipt that they followed the procedures.
4. Get your EAD within a week or so after infopass.
Thank a ton for the help, Can you please tell in more detail what i need to do/say there? I have heard that people are being turned back pretty rudely at local offices. Also do i need to fill any forms before i go there?

Hi bitzbytz,
How much are you paying and for how many paystubs? Are you planning to go out of country for stamping? I am in a similar situation.
Did you got the visa stamping dates?
Thanks
what do you mean by fake pay stubs, can you please clarify.
I am in process of generating pay stubs for my wife by paying the employer tax...so that she is covered for the un paid H1 period.
Why will this cause problem

Thank you guys,
Even if it's EB3? Eb3 requires only Bachelor, without any experinece, am I wrong?
Only Eb2+ 5 years of progressive work experience requires all the employment letters throughtout the 5 years. Am I accurate?
Thank you again for your help.
Depends on what your company gave as the qualifications for the position. In my case it was EB3 bachelors + 2 years work experience so I had to give experience letters.

Interesting ritual one has to follow :)
1. Copy the link on your clip-board (highlight and Ctrl+C). E.g., the following is the link for TSC
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=TSC
2. Close *all* your browser windows. Perhaps you might want to open the task manager and kill the "process tree". But simply closing *all* the browser windows was sufficient in my system.
3. Open your browser. Paste the link (Ctrl+v) on the browser and voila!
They could be using some distributed web caching like akamai.
Cheers,
