Folks,
Things are not good at Chicago either (at least for me). 9 months after audit reply and still waiting.
Please dont' make this specific to Atlanta. Though things might be different from June 1st since there will be only Atlanta Center.

Thanks sravani,
So will the doctor still give me a report even if I don't complete all medical exams?
Also on a side note, Do you know how long does it take to get the report once the tests are done?

I once again plead with all members to meet law makers and send several thousand letters on this. Spending 45 mins on a letter (typing, printing, posting etc) may save 5 years of wait! Please think it over!!!
GOD bless the EB Community!
If that's the case, why don't we do signed letter campaign? It will suit a lot of paper tigers (myself included) here

I just don't understand why people who suffer so much from the whole waiting would not contribute. If one day, IV core members decide to close this organization and go on with their lives, I would like to know how those people who have not contributed feel.
The economic theory, "inferior purge the good" works here. Without sufficient "good" individual, we will eventually be out of this game! So to those who have not contributed yet, do you want to see the disorganization of IV? Do you want to become a group for which no one would speak up for you? Do you want to wait desperately and endlessly for your GCs? Do you want to continue to work like a slave and feel worried about travelling outside US?... If not, please contribute!!!
Well said, Thanks.

All those who are still waiting in BEC black hole, I feel for you. I was stuck in BEC for four years. Only managed to get out a couple of months ago after they allowed TR cases to be converted to RIR.
I tend to think the same way as chanduv23. Our final goal is a Green card, and it may still turn out that the people who are currently still waiting in BEC may end up getting their GC in hand before many of the ones that can apply for 485 in July.
The reason is that USCIS has clearly stated that it will retrogress big time in September. So, people with recent PDs may get to file their 485 but may have to wait for a long time for their PD to become current again to get the approval notice (folks, I am not wishing ill against any group here! I wish we all got our GCs ASAP. But since that is not going to happen, just trying to analyze facts). On the other hand, if BEC comes through with their sep 07 prediction, then these people with much older PDs may be able to apply for their 140/485 at that time and may end up getting their GC 6-12 months later because their PDs will still be current at the time of approval (Of course, this is assuming that they will not get caught in the Name Check Black hole)
So, all those who are still stuck in BEC, please hang in there, your day of freedom will arrive (maybe sooner than you are currently thinking).
My prayers are with you all guys who are stuck at BECs and waiting for more than threes like I did. As someone said, Good things come to those who waits.

Are they not going to give the same message that you see on the online status page? How different is the case status info going to be from the online status page? I am curious to know ... so that I can call too.
Yes...but after they verbally repeat the same status message as the one online, politely request to be transferred to Level 2. Level 2 typically has a little more info on your case than the customer service agent that picked up your call initially.

Guys,
As you know that I have been talking to one of the IV Admins and their suggestion (since the beginning) is that we send the letters individually.
And I tend to agree with this, here is why:
1) One package with 70 some signature will still be one letter, if each one of sends the letter, it will remind the General Inspector everyday, for at least a couple weeks. The chances of something happening are greater this way. They can ignore 5, 10, 15, but not 70 letters.
Think of this as one rock verses 70 pebbles, and you are trying to hit a target ;)
2) Having a different "From" address on the letter makes it more convincing and authentic that the person writing and sending the letter is not just making up the names (in case we decide not to add the Case number).
3) We can not use the IV name and the top of the letter (refer to my first comment in the letter) as this is not going officially from IV. A copy of the letter, along with the list of names/individuals who sent the letter to DOL will be used by IV during their lobbying meetings, etc.
4) It will help with the logistics (email, Fax, snail mail to intermediate) and people can take a responsibility for doing it.
The not so good reason...
- I am afraid that some people will not send it. I know how it can get when you work late nights since early morning and all you wanna do on Saturday is sleep :).
Options:
I dont think I want to have a separate poll for this, but we do have a couple options here:
1 Send One big letter
2 I create a template so you guys can just put your Name, Address and Case Number (optional) print and send it your self, it will cost you guys less than 5 minutes and less than $1.
What do you say?
Cheerios!

Dear Chris_Rock, GC_Check, trueguy, 485Mbe4001 and others
Happy to see you debating healthy discussions. No flames. This is a mature discussion unlike recent past.
Yes, ONLY we EB3's need to be serious.
I agree that CIR is impossible till March 2011. If one sees Americaworker.org ads in TV, I do not think law makers will listen to us. EB2 is placed in queue nicely.
Let us debate decently and do not respond to people that start flames.
Thanks to all of you.

Dear IV Members,
Just want to share some personal information with you. I was quite skeptical about such events myself, but after attending the previous advocacy event, I learnt that these efforts do really bear fruits. IV is graciuosly taking respinsibility for all the logistics of the event and speaking for you and me, SELFLESSLY, I must add. So, please make the effort to attend and I, for one, can assure you that you will not be disappointed and leave with a satisfaction that there are countless others who are in the same boat as you are and are making an effort to better the situation. And IV is always there to help!
So, please make every effort to attend this event!
Sincerely,
av2004

Hi IV members!
I know many of us have been toying with ideas to increase membership. I wanted to start a separate thread just to highlight the following idea - Every member bring one additional member to IV.
Specifically, these are the bullet points I suggest:
1. By December 31, each of you bring one member to IV.
If you really think about it, it is not a difficult task. Every one of us knows atleast one person stuck in GC process, that is talking conservatively. It takes less than 15 minutes to call one person and explain IVs efforts and request his/her support.
2. By January 15, each of us take responsibility to get the member we brought to IV to contribute to the cause. And I am not suggesting any particular amount.
3. Each of take responsibility in having them update their information on IV website, so that when the need arises, they can be contacted (for sending webfaxes etc. like last week).
Also, whenever you bring someone to IV, please post on this thread (it will encourage others). I feel this approach will work, if we keep this thread alive, and try to stick to the time deadline (deadlines might not have worked before, because they were too long term).
Also, please keep this thread on track, without any other discussions.
So IV'ers, lets add ONE member, and get ONE contribution!!!!
Thank you.
Neelu
Thanks so much, this is an excellent idea. Add one-2-3-10 members, lets keep this thread alive and kicking. Lets keep it to the top. We can do it. In a single day last week the thread we started calling sessions went from 35 posts to 150 posts.

Any other options?

Every member who is discussing this thread and thinks this bill has a chance, schedule a meetign with your lawmaker today so that you can discuss OVERALL IV provisions and get a specific response on whether they will support, co-sponsor and vote for this bill. That will give us a direct answer instead of us speculating on the thread for months together.
If we get 40-50 lawmaker meetings scheduled over the next 3-5 weeks, that itself will provide us with enough feedback to decide whether this bill is worth it or not.
The point I am trying to make is that IV core is here to guide us and support us with national level advocacy. Nothing is going to happen in Congress until the grass roots efforts pushes congressmen/congresswomen/senators to think about a bill. Us sitting here and requesting IV to take up a cause (without any grassroots effort to back it up) is NOT going to help.
Its only after meeting a lawmaker that we realize how Congress works. No one is waiting to fight our cause...we have to push for it and use the IV platform.
So the plan can be -
1) everyone here who is positive about this bill..schedule a lawmaker meeting. I volunteer to coordinate the list of lawmaker meetings scheduled.
2) create a googlegroup with list of people working on the initiative. Keep track of feedback from each meeting.
3) WIth the feedback from the 40-50 meetings, we will know if this bill has any steam. Even if not, we will at least have established a rapport with local lawmaker offices which can be used for other piecemeal legislations that come up.
4) Keep the list of lawmaker meeting volunteers open and growing so that we will eventually have a large group of grass-roots volunteers regularly working on lawmaker meetings. These folks can keep track of legislations (through the forum, coordinator) and immediately schedule grass-roots advocacy/meetings when needed.
We have to create a culture and a habit within the EB community of regularly meeting with lawmakers so that every one of our local lawmaker offices has our issues on their fingertips (even if they oppose us). merely coming to a forum and requesting iv core to do all they can, the day before a bill is to come to vote, is (for lack of other terms) plain stupid.
Is anybody in?

Well I had called a NY congresswoman when I was stuck in a H1 name check. I found them open and willing to help. She even contacted the FBI.
Well I am just an ordinary person, and the same as everyone here, and not saying I will do everything myself. There are persons who are better skilled at this and know the immigration law better.
Also don't rule out lobbying, I just said we also need something else that should justify our case without a lobby. I'm asking for suggestions or ideas.
I may be new here, If you see my post on the other forum, I'm asking for the creation of an organization with skilled people who will create a new campaign among legal immigrants. Kind of like Grass roots movement.
I saw that. Looks like you are trying to pimp for a lawyer. Learn to stand on your own 2 feet first.
All you have done is made a phone call to a lawmaker office. Before you start a poll go and meet your lawmaker and learn how to talk to lawmakers. That will be a good start.

For me the agony is endless. My deshi employer did not provide me the EVL in time though I was able to file in JUNE. They gave it to me after JULY 20th when I stopped sending timesheets.
I am personally not a big supporter of elimination of country quota. Don’t get me wrong. I fully share and understand the endless pain is being gone through by EB3 Indians/Chinese community. Increasing # of EB visa will ease some of their pain.
For an example there are 1000 IT processionals from India wants to come to US with H1/L1/B1. There are ample companies (say 50) owned by Indian and those 1000 IT professionals have enough opportunities to come to US.
On the other hand, for an example, from Ukraine, there are 100 IT professionals are trying to migrate to US with H1/L1/B1 but there are few to none companies (say 1 ) owned by Ukrainians and those 100 IT professionals have few to none opportunity to come to US.
My point is, there are more IT Indians in US do not validate removal of country quota.
Others should get a fair chance – NO MONOPOLY is desirable.
Also New Jersey has too may Indians living, may be one day, there can be revolution, and they might ask for a separate country. I am kidding here.
I agree 100%
The 1 Ukranian IT guy must have waited longer back home till he found a chance to come, so it is fair that he gets a chance to catch up when he arrives here.
I sympathize though with non-IT retrogressed people, there isn't such a monopoly outside IT, so them getting delayed because of the presense of large number of IT people from their country may not be fair.. Then again what's fair about indian born in india being retrogressed while indian born in kuwait is not.. We all acceped to start applications within certain rules, saying "not fair" and adjusting the rules at others' expense should only apply to future applications.

Hi Guys,
Place A has mentioned as the place of birth in my passport and place B has been mentioned as the place of birth in my Birth certificate. Distance between place A and 5 or approximately 3 miles and both the places comes under one Taluk/Mandal.
I would like to know is this going to be a problem in I485/AOS status, if so can you please suggest some way to overcome this problem?
Thanks very much.
