my lawyer told me that dates will definitely move ahead next month. He was confident about it after talking to his contacts at USCIS i guess.
except that the visa bulletin is published by the department of state, not USCIS...
anyway EB3-India and hopefully EB3-ROW would definately move soon, they seem to have been pushed too far back out...

You are right that there is no hope for EB3 India. But only as long as you and others in EB3 do not meet their lawmakers. Take part actively in action items. We have details of every local town hall meeting in your area and you can go there. We can help you set up your meeting with your lawmaker in his office. We can help you meet in their DC office if you want to get really active. We have several more details and ideas and need people to work on them.
FYI we never use the terms like EB2 or EB3 in our meetings with lawmakers. There is no priority in our agenda based on category or nationality. ImmigrationVoice.org - About Immigration Voice (http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5&Itemid=47) You will not find anywhere EB2 or EB3 based agenda here.
Well Pappu, the fact of the matter is nothing has been done specifically to help EB3-I/C/ROW. IV may be EB agnostic but EB3-I seems to have been stuck forever to the point of despair.
I and other EB3s have donated to most of the IV causes and campaigns. We have written to our Senators, reps, sponsors and co-sponsors of bills but nothing has helped.
If IV renews its focus to help EB3-I/C/ROW then you can expect more contributiuons from EB3s.
I do not want a lesson on EB3/EB2/EB1...there is no end to opinions on this forum. What I and other EB3-I/C/ROW want are results. Contributions, meeting the lawmakers, writing to politicians etc will kick in fourth gear if there is a reasonable advancement of dates for EB3-I/C/ROW.
BTW, your and other IV leaders' efforts are very much appreciated. All that I am saying is that IV should be focused on EB3-I/C/ROW (through tagging recapture to a bill or something) now that EB2 is getting help from USCIS spillover.

6) Go and buy a Pre approved LC from Desi Consultant paying 15K or more
guys any more ideas?
one more question 7) I dont like recurring payment, but I will contribute monthly anyways.
That is like telling your fiance "I want to live with you for ever, but I dont want to marry you".

Speedo,
Yes I did call the USCIS the day prior to getting the welcome email. Now if that triggered the approval or not I can't be certain.
Lasantha, I have a similar profile like yours except for my PD will become current in May and I-485 was filed July 2nd. My question to you is that did you call the service center to inquire about your status, and that triggered approval.

Guys:
I have heard lot of pros and cons about EB1. Let me also say that one of my best friends got his GC from Cognizant in EB1 category which was a fraud case for EB1. I am happy for him but not for myself. I agree it left me with jealousy.
Now what is our problem? Guys getting GCs under EB1C or we not getting GC in EB3 or EB2?
If we complaint against EB1C cases, are we going to get GC? Let me tell you, with the anti immigrant atmosphere prevailing in the country, they will even choke EB1C category and use it for propaganda. Do you want to get GC or are you saying, I dont have a GC, even my friend should not have it. This is a classic case of divide and conquer strategy.
By choking up EB1C, nobody, nobody will get GC. We should not fight amongst ourselves like Eb1, 2, 3 etc Or India , China etc.
This is a forum for everyone impacted by GC backlog. Everyone involved in the process deserves transparency. First of all we do not know where the numbers are going, whether they are being used judiciously or what are the bottlenecks. Just as we blame USCIS, we also blame Cognixant for our woes. I think first we need to get a clear picture of what is happening and we also need to work with DOS , USCIS to get a clear picture.
Just like financial companies file statements with SEC, we also deserve complete transparency in the process. This way it will be clear to US citizens who blame us for their woes and also for us who blame USCIS or fake EB1s for our woes.
We can work with USCIS and lobby them rather than pressure them through senators etc. who are are just using us as political pawns in their elections.
My final message is: DO NOT do something that will divide the community. Let us work towards a common cause.

by congressional staff. Because the CR (Congressional Record) of SA 187 and SA 180 refer to the same CR .
Or
it is possible that SA 180 is merged with 187, as I read ( I can post) the Senate discussion verbatim and Senator Kennedy introduced SA187. And the CR record has these confusing.
S.AMDT.187 to H.R.2 , by Kerry Refers to CR S1121--Passed (does not contain backlog or immigration provisions)
S.AMDT.180 to H.R.2 , by Kennedy Refers to CR S1088-1104 --Not Passed/not voted--(S1088-1104---consists of Backlog reduction provisions).
We missed it guys......very narrowly.

Please feel free to send me a PM, whoever is in my situation. You are right we can have more effect if we work together. Certainly not got much done on my own during the past couple of years. Just keep getting standard letters from senators and congressman.

Agreed, Elderly people just want to be with their friends/relatives and want to be in the country they have grown up in and lived all their lives.
This is a thread that has no relevance to IV or the community that is suffering from retrogression, especially if you are a EB candidate from India & China. We need some energy devoted to the following:
Multi year EAD/AP
Recapture wasted visa numbers
Eliminate counting dependents on the Adjustment application from numerical limitations
Do away with country limits
If we can hit the target with even ONE of the demands above we have a won a battle with the larger war looming in on us and that is successfully surviving the GC's tumultuous journey.
Every discussion on the forum should concentrate on solving one of the issues above and the concept of citizenship after 5/10/15 is total nonsense.

Finaly received the 1-year renewal EADs today. This time there was no "approval notice sent" email/LUD.
albertpinto and other folks who filed in April/May and still waiting...hang in there, you all should be receiving your cards soon. If you haven't already, try filing an SR by calling NCSC. I am not sure if that's what helped in our case, but it can't hurt your chances. InfoPass was useless in our case...the guy flat out said he cannot help us.
Here's a quick recap of our case:
EAD efiled at TSC May 27th
Receipt and biometrics notices received: June 1st week
Biometrics done: June 19th
First card ordered email: June 28th
InfoPass: July 28th
SR filed through NCSC: July 28th
Second card production ordered email: July 29th
Cards received in mail: Aug 2nd
got the second card production ordered email today. first one was on june 28th. hopefully this time, we'll get the approval notice sent email in the next couple of days...or latest in the next week or so.

If you read my any previous posts and to repeat, there will be no issue to contribute from me or most of us here. We need an action item. Anyone with minimum common knowledge here sees there is no change in dates for the last 6 months, or even last few years. You seem to be a strong supporter of contributions, can you list one action item which we planned to take up in the last or in near future that addresses our concerns of backlogs. Now dont come back and tell me or send me a picture of July 07 campaign or your 12th grade or 10th grade marksheet. We need to be doing things of our interest EVERY single day. I do my job very good.. I know.. but I have to keep doing it everyday if I have to keep it. Similarly unless you put continuous efforts, you wont get continuous results.
If you want a reply to your post from me again, come back with an action item that you see as planned.
Which is first? Egg or Chicken?
If we have enough budget, we can hire good lobbying firm who can then guide us. Without any contributions, we can not even approach the lobbying firms for any help. The contributions that we make are not even enough for maintenance of this web site.
Why not you guide us? Hire a lobbying firm and inform every one here that it will cost this much and this is how you want to do?
I am not part of IV core. if all of us contribute big money, we can hire the best lobbying. We saw the last results.

We have reached 40%. To reach 50% we need $6000 more. If more people can contribute, we can reach this in no time.
The core and a lot of serious members have already contributed.
There are 2 mind sets of people on this forum:
1) I have contributed $500+ , I do not need to contribute $20 more, In anycase what is my
$20 going to do?.
2) I have never contributed, but I am ashamed of making my first contribution of only $20.
(Although that is what I am comfortable doing at this time.)
Both the above mindsets are wrong because If we have 7000+ members, out of which say 1000 have already contributed, that leaves us with 6000 members. If 6000 members contribute $1 each, we are at $ 6000 - 50% met.
Now all are not going to do it.
So you see $20 is still a good amount to start.
For the future, we definately need more members. So the add a member campaign is very important.

Three unbelivable things had happen in DC.
1. Aman forgot his cell phone in the Cab. This phone had all the important contact information. One passenger using the cab found it and he decided to return it to the owner of the cell phone. The passenger did not want to give his cell phone to the cab driver since there is no guarantee that the cab driver will return the cell phone to Aman. He therefore decided to find the passenger (Aman). The passenger asked the cab driver who was sitting in this cab before he took this cab. Where did he dropped the passenger (Aman).
The driver brought that passenger at the Washington Monument. The passenger asked the driver to find Aman. The driver found Aman and the cell phone was returned.
2. I forgot to get my laptop from the cab. The cab left after dropping me, Kushal and Ashish at the hotel. The only thing we knew was the color of the cab. The laptop carrying case had important IV documents, checks that some members had contributed and my personnel check book. Ashish and Kushal were helping me to find the cab company waiting outside the hotel on the road. We spent approximately 2 hour waiting on the road. Kushal kept calling each cab company informing that we have forgot to collect the laptop from the hotel. Ashish kept collecting the phone numbers of the different cab company.
Not only that Meenal who was attending different meetings in capitol hill kept asking different cabs about the ways to find the cab and laptop when she get some time between the meetings. At 6:30 PM Aman, Tamsen, Nili, Meenal, kushal, Rajesh, and I met at Bombay palace for the dinner since we all were very hungry. Aman told me that we will dedicate the whole day Wed. to find the laptop and he was very confident that we will find the laptop. Tamsen was trying to find the cab company on the internet using color combination. I can see that everyone was concerned and were wishing that I get my lost laptop back some way.
At exactly 8:36 PM I got a call from one passenger who was living in VA and told me that he had my laptop. He along with his wife came all the way back to DC capitol (45 MINUTES DRIVE) just to return my laptop.
3. Whoever have came to DC for this rally had met real IV members. I have not seen or met any individual who said that he or she made a mistake coming to DC for this rally. This was an unbelivable event. People who did not came to DC for sure made a mistake of deciding not to come to DC for any reason.
