I am seeing several people contacting Congressman and opening service requests. These guys seem to have become current just this month and they do not have any patience. It is crazy in my opinion. As pointed out earlier there is lot of herd mentality on the forums and if one person posts, everyone else does the same. Some people I have seen on the forum call customer service every day to get case status. I urge people to read and try to understand the process than blindly following what others are doing. Secondly as posted earlier, tracking is also useless and a waste of time. It will not help you get your green card any faster. Have some patience and follow the process. Starting a service request as soon as your date gets current, cannot help you.
Exactly! I couldn't agree more. The mentalities of some, baffles. You would think that being in this country for a while some sensibilities would prevail. As for the "predictions' --I get SOME of what's being said, but I do not see anything of substance coming off all that incredible effort. In some ways, it reminds of me the days of old, when picking flower petals decided if someone loved you.

I understand that. However, apart from canvassing the support for CIR by writing to senators, lawmakers, in what capacity can IV influence USCIS to take up EB-3 cause?
Even if IV has intentions to ameliorate our pain, is it truly capable to influence the agency to do something for only one specific category ? At a micro-level, we EB-3 need to do something about changing our situation ourselves, lest we stand in the filthy excreta for eons. :mad:

Hi all,
Just wanted to rop by and say I received my welcome email today.
Been here since 2001, but my company wouldn't let me file labor until December 2004.
Good luck all, and keep the faith.

wow that's a long wait to file your labor. Well in any event you got your GC and i wish you could have gotten it sooner since IMO you should have filed your labor much sooner. Good luck in all that you have planned on doing.

you seem to be correct ....
i just looked at the amendments in detail and this provision was in SA 180.
I am a bit unsure though of what happened to SA 180. Did it get amended by some other amendment. It does not appear to have been tabled. I apologize to everyone but I had stated right in the beginning that I may be totally wrong.
TITLE VI--FAMILY UNITY AND BACKLOG REDUCTION
Sec..1601..Elimination of existing backlogs.
Sec..1602..Country limits.
Sec..1603..Allocation of immigrant visas.
Sec..1604..Relief for children and widows.
Sec..1605..Amending the affidavit of support requirements.
Sec..1606..Discretionary authority.
Sec..1607..Family unity.

I agree too. Visa Re-capture is the only solution which is available at this time. Now we have actual data in hand. We need to build a strong case, for ex person with priority date of 2004 have x number of people ahead of him, based on the numbers available per year for EB3 (I) It will easily take more than 5 years, That means total time for GC process from start to finish is >10 years.
One has to work in similar position for 10 years.
We can brain storm points like this an d build a strong case for admin fix/ Visa re-capture...
Thoughts/ Concerns..
I agree with you. Recapture is ony way out. Spill over was done from 2002 - 2006 and EB3 I was still struck in 2001. Adding 20k visa would barely move EB3 I With all the labor subs that happened in 2007 there are many more people that have jumped the lines. All Spill over can do is barely move Eb3 from 2001 to early / mid 2002 that is all. So for folks post 2004 PD you are struck because by the time your PD gets spillover there will be EB2 I & C fighting for the same visa# that you need. So spill over helps a small section either Eb3 I with PD between 2001 - 2003 or EB2 with PD 2005 - CURRENT. For all others only real chance is recapture

I have spoken about IV to several friends, colleagues, acquaintances and relatives who are stuck in retrogression or likely to be affected by it sooner or later. I have found it very hard to orally convey effectively what IV does and how it benefits people like them. Of those to I have spoken to only 4 or 5 have become members of IV. Also, I think a lot of people, including me, find it difficult (shy, I guess) to directly approach people and canvass about anything.
I have also sent emails to these and several others about IV. Not sure how many read it and how many have become members. Nowadays chain and mass emails have become so ubiquitous, most people ignore or delete them, no matter who sends them.
Someone might have already done this or proposed this already, not sure
Here is what I will be doing to increase awareness about IV:
I think direct mail, although costs money, is one of the most effective way of communicating ideas and organizations like IV. People take this more seriously than emails.
In the next few days I will make a list of people (at least 30) that I want to convey about IV to and send them direct mail about IV. This will be done by printing the brochures and text of email IV has published and send it to them via postal mail. I may not have the postal addresses of all of them, but I should be able to find out by doing a reverse lookup on their phone numbers. I am also thinking of sending it to their work address if I can not find their home address.
In a few days, I will post again letting you all know how many direct mails I sent.
Here is what IV can do:
If IV thinks this is an effective way to increase membership they can do the following: Have members send them postal addresses and money towards postage and stationery. E.g. 50 cents per address. IV can send postal mails to the people (addresses given by members).
I think this is better than members sending themselves because IV can fine-tune the message and messages have more gravity if it comes from a non-profit instead of an individual person. (Others may disagree with this statement). Some may want to canvass about IV but may want to remain anonymous. Those who do not want to remain anonymous should have the option of adding their name/address at some appropriate place in the letter.
Another suggestion is that IV should publish a comprehensive direct mail package (and guidelines) that can be downloaded and printed by members like me who want to send direct mails

Would that be a good idea to contact sen. Kerry's office thanking him for the attempt and asking to re-introduce again?
What do you think guys? If he receives tons of e-mails and phone calls regarding this, he may try to re-introduce again. I just sent an email to him from his website: kerry.senate.gov
G
I think Kerry(i think it is actually Kennedy E who introduced it - SA180 , SA 187 did not have anyhting to do with us it was for Women centers) di dnot have any good intentions for us in troducing this.If you see on Thomas(or congress.gov and search for HR2, see the fourth version, and check out amendments), SA180 was amendment to SA143 (this is by our friend Jeff Sessions). So most probably it was part of politics. Also this status says both these amendments wer eintroduced in Senate but thats it, they did not pass.

No one is saying that IV is ditching Eb3.Everyone(at least EB3 guys) is saying that EB3 needs special attention because it's movement is dead now.
While IV has not lobbied for any particular EB category but I think that is what they should be doing. Isn't one of IV's goals is to end retrogression ... so shouldn't EB3 be at least lobbied for since they are in such a mess ... I don't believe it sometimes that we are still in 2001.. that is 10 years back.
In a couple of years EB2 will be more or less current. So that means a guy who came two years back will file in EB2 and get his GC and I who has been working here for 12 years would still be waiting in line.
Some people say EB1 are brighter than EB2 and EB2 are brighter than EB3 . I find that funny because no one Eb1 or EB2 or EB3 is brighter than anyone unless someone has an extraordinary PHd or is a scientist . Its the lawyers who are brighter and how co-operative your company is.
Besides when we filed in EB3 categories there was no retrogression and hence no one cared or else we also would have filed in Eb2 and got our GC.
I think time has come for IV to lobby for help to EB3 people specifically since EB2 is almost done .

I applied my wife's passport for extension. She has 6 more months on that one. I got the renewal exactly after 3 weeks from CGI-Houston. But the problem is, they gave only 1yr extension. In effect, I got only 6 months extension. I'm glad, atleast they sent it because we already booked the ticket to India in May. I'm not sure why they've given like that. Anyone has any ideas on that one?

Hi Folks,
for those looking for a hotel to stay. There is a decent "Microtel" hotel near BWI in Linthicum Heights, MD . They offer free ride to/from the BWI airport, and the train station. The trains will go to the Union Station, DC. They also offer free breakfast, and wireless internet. If you can share room, it'll work out really inexpensive. Hope this helps.
