Friends,
we are struggling to get greencard, even Multi year EAD/AP is a issue and you guys are talking about citizenship..
best of luck

I am also struggling to get my GC. It is my 9th year in H1B visa. My intention is, atleast we can reduce the period for waiting to get the citizenship. It can also be considered as a good benefit for our community. Just my thoughts...

I thought, 15000 members was a small goal. But I guess we have to start with even smaller goals. I agree with Amit.
There's too much at stake to give up this campaign. Without membership, we are a weak bunch. To fight organized campaigns by groups such as Numbersusa we need the member strength.
Let us aim for 8000 members by Jan 15th. Current membership stands at 7919. We need just 80 members to reach the 8000 mark. If 10% of the current membership brings ONE member by Jan 15th, we can easily reach that target. With 300000 immigrants in this kind of quagmire, cant we get 80 people? I believe we can.
Let's join hands one more time and try to Add just ONE member by Jan15th. It is for our own sakes we will be doing it, so let's do it!!!
Admins,
Please send out an email (monthly newsletter) to all members informing them about this campaign.
Thank you.

Thanks Neelu, rightly said. I added one more member last night.

As of now we are gathering people in one place to estimate how many people are there.
There is a Poll on the first page of this thread which is a way for us to estimate the number of people who will support any action that we take to make our voice heard.

stop this stupidity please
far as i know we did not write the letter.
all we did was send flowers to let people know we were screwed over.
if you don't even want to do that...
hey it's ok to roll over and play dead. but you can do that without bothering to come here, can't you?
iv has not raised any security related issues as a policy. we have not denigrated uscis for working efficiently either. all we asked was to honor the july bulletin.
so what stupidity should be stop dear kramer?

What is? Working on the July submitted apps ahead of the ones already in the queue?
no no. working on them meaning issue us a receipt (so we can use AC21) and give us an EAD (so our spouses can work) and an AP (so we can travel). We will then patiently wait in line behind all those folks who submitted I-485s before us and have PDs earlier than ours.

Income from investment activities is okay on any visa status as long as appropriate taxes are paid.
If one has rental income, interest income and captial gains from the stock market while on H1-B, does it affect if the person transfers status to H4. Is income from above sources for a H4 person ok ?

It is all dependent on one's situation. Obviously housing is better than renting, only if one's situation allows it. Do not extend beyond your means. I read above somebody making their expenses+mortgage on one person's salary. He has great hope for GC very soon. That can a wise decision. Buying expensive cars, houses, gadgets is very attractive.
I have noticed people buy stuff (not just houses) based on their present income and think they will have same or higher income. These people are working on contracts in IT companies.
Housing is not just money saved in rent and paid towards mortgage. It is maintainence, more furniture, higher utility bills, you name it. Owning a house is not cheap, but sure is better than renting only if you can afford it.
We came to US to improve our living standard, not to degrade it. So it is best to make more money and then live life. Hell somebody above gave me an idea of sailing now. I can just imagine beach now. There goes my savings.

I have renewed my passport and my wife's a couple of times in through Houston (That tell you how long I have been in the US without a GC). It typically takes them 3-4 weeks (Rush service is also offered). You can opt to pick up the passport in person as well. If you have been waiting very long for your new passport, call them up and speak with them. I have noticed that it help greatly if you speak with them in Hindi instead of English. Goodluck.

you can also set auto-payment from your bank account/ credit union account. I did that through Digital Federal Credit Union.
when i tried to setup a recurring payment I got the following message.
Accounts with limited access may not send money !
I've used my paypal account to make one time payment to IV before but never had any issue. Is this a paypal error/issue?..could i be doing something wrong ? is there any other way to make a payment ?

Im still waiting too. e-filed may 23rd. fp done on June 17th.
Expedite request denied, have an infopass appointment on August 14th. I will see what they will say
Getting too worried as my current ead is going to expire on Sep 19th.
Looking at the tracking it looks like TSC has started to work on all these pending cases. Hopefully our petitions get approved soon too
Will keep you posted
I have the very exact EAD expiry date. I think after 75 days you can open a SR and after 90 days we can try for interim EAD.. That's what I'm planning to do. Please keep me updated on your case and infopass appt

All these ideas have been debated several times before and there have been too many bills that didnt go anywhere. It's probably wiser to try to push the bills that have already been introduced than to push new ones and waste more time. My experience is the more the number of bills floating around, the more the excuses to not do anything on the active bill but tendency to attach it to a newer bill ad hence buy more time till next election and then next and then next. seen it, been there and tracked it for over 5 years. I undertsand your pain, we all do, I also undertsand the frustration.
I have been active with IV even before you came here (since 2006) so don't question my sincerity. I do agree that my manner was too sarcastic and you seem like an overly sensitive kind of guy and you probably like things sugar coated-here it is-good idea, thought by many, several times before your eureka moment. Fact is- Bills (eventually they will all be merged ino one) are not likely to succeed till 2011, as it's a non-election year and something might happen with bills already there. With the weak economy no party can afford to look immigrant friendly (legal/illegal irrespective) when there is 10% unemployement rate in local population. They already know the difference between illelgal and legal and highly skilled. It suits them to pretend to not undertsand the dfference. Think like them, it's their career and it's all business. Just remember it's usually never personal.
Do know that we are all going through same shit and are on the same team.

H1BLegal95,
I couldn't agree more with you. This is the worst thing to happen for ppl who have been patiently waiting in BEC lines since 2001 !!! But remember you are getting screwed now others have either been screwed at some other point or will get screwed later. We all get screwed :D
I couldn't agree more. I am one of the lucky PERM filers with a 2006 PD who will get to file the 485 next month....but doesn't mean, I haven't been screwed before.
DOL screwed me the very first time in 2001 with my RIR labor....after 2 years they remanded it back to traditional labor...since 2003 it had been languishing in the labor queue and then at the BEC until finally in 2005, I lost my job...
After 4 years of struggle with the DOL, all I got was to start everything all over again in late 2005....In 2005 when I started this new job, the 485 filing looked almost 5 years away...through all of this me and wife had started living separately due to our professions and respective H1s...
Up until May of this year, it almost seemed like nothing was going to change and we will have to keep up with this wait and separation at least for the next 3 years or so...
But, we do get to see the light at the end of the tunnel now..

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.
