I think once couple of senators start rocking our issue others will start supporting too.
You are exactly right!!. It is the right time to send in letters (no emails or faxes) LETTERS to congressmen/women (just 2) for the state you live in. Also your house rep.
It is just 2 letters, guys, print them, put in a little envelope, stick a 41c stamp and mail it.

Approved today in the most RESPECTED way for both Primary and Derivative.
--No Porting
--EB2- with qualified credentials: BS Engg;MS USA;
--No substitution
Called USCIS CS and verified information; and CS opened SR
Has been a long wait. Came in 1999 for MS, straight out of college from home country.
Oh your status said mentioned it as "RESPECTED". May be you are a special case for USCIS. Good for you.
I hope you realize that the only thing you gained is the disrespect of your peers. Enjoy it.

With parameshwara's anugrah, my status changed yesterday(Sep 1st, 2009) to "Card Production Ordered".
End to my long wait and frustration.
I wish and hope others get their card soon.
Thanks to ImmigrationVoice team for their work without them, USCIS wouldn't be so efficient and wouldn't have cared to process the applications in the order of PD. IV is doing lot of things which will help the immigration community and I completely support their activities.
I have donated to IV before and now I am starting a new monthly contribution for next six months.

Sam,
I contributed $50 earlier today, your post has inspired me to make an offer, like what Anurakt has made."I will contribute $500 to IV if we sign-up 20 members for recurring $50/m OR 200 members for $20/m, whichever is earlier."
Alright the game is on then !! Let's see if the IVians have any fuel left or if they will run out of gas today....

I am an American, born and raised in the US and I wholly support Team IV. This initiative not only supports IV, but also helps prevent childhood obesity in the US which are two very important issues that we currently face. Being an avid runner, I am always looking for worthy causes to support via running and I am excited to be a part of this Team.

Well that would be an option make H1b portable.
But then most consulting companies will not hire H1B's because it won't be cost effective.
Anyway just by checking most of this consulting firms businesses they will be able to uncover all the fraud.
It's very unethical to make you lie on your resume and then try to market you to an employer with fake experience, also nobody has responded to my comment. Real Companies like PWC, IBM pay you while you're on bench, while this indian consulting companies break the law by not doing that.
Hmm, being an Ex-IBM Employee and for the record, let me tell you something. As long as one can charge his or her time to a billable project, no one cares. Otherwise, all you get is a grace period of 2 paychecks to prove the worth of employment. I'm telling you this truth with a verifiable employment history of more than 8 years in USA.
My friend, all that matters is how much revenue one can generate. Just doesn't matter whether you are working for Big5 or small and tiny consulting companies.
Challenge me if i'm wrong

Hi Anshal,
Please check this CSPA clause (http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=eab41f5a63d3c7d15b9d34a8c70b7 fb0) (http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=eab41f5a63d3c7d15b9d34a8c70b7 fb0)
"(5) Visa Availability Date Regression . If a visa availability date regresses, and an alien has already filed a Form I-485 based on an approved Form I-130 or Form I-140, USCIS should retain the Form I-485 and note the visa availability date at the time the Form I-485 was filed. Once the visa number again becomes available for that preference category, determine whether the beneficiary is a “child” using the visa availability date marked on the Form I-485. If, however, an alien has not filed a Form I-485 prior to the visa availability date regressing, and then files a Form I-485 when the visa availability date again becomes current, the alien’s “age” should be determined using the subsequent visa availability date."
Speak to your attorney and post his/her views please.
Thanks,
Hello
I am confused about CSPA
My child will turn 21 march 2009, currently on EAD from the I485 filling in July 07, I140 approved in July 07, PD is Feb 07. I have not received any letter from USCIS about the immigration age of child being locked in at filling. Where does my child stand now?.

I applied to my passport renewal in Jan 09 got back the renewed passport in march 2009.
I checked the passport and on my new passport the old passport number was wrong.
I went personally there and they put a observation in my passport as (the old passport number should be read as xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
The observation is hand written and has no signature or stamp on it. I talked to the lady there and she said this is fine and lawful.
Can any one shed any light, if that can be a problem to me while travelling??
BTW - old passport was mentioned wrong becuase I did a typing error while filling online application. When I went there they corrected the ew passport and gave me within 1 hour. So in that way they were helpful.

Here are few sentences from Senator kennedy's concession speach at 1980 Democratic convention in New York
[B]For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.[B]
You can hear the speech at http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/tedkennedy.htm
So guys dont get depressed, As long as people like senator kennedy / Mccain are in senate I have hope.
God bless America.
McCain or Kennedy hasn't yet proven themselves to be champions of skilled-labor legal immigration. In fact Kennedy has been a critic of H1B visas from its inception. Read up on H1B history to get an idea. So I would not put too much hope on senators until they champion or sponsor our cause.

From recent statements from Mr. Bush and Mr. Frist, I am assuming we can say "CIR is officially dead".
Does that make pushing for SKIL "easier"? (I know there is a tight schedule before the election etc., but worth trying?.... I guess we will hear more about this from IV admins on Sunday's conf. call).

WASHINGTON -- House Republican leaders are scheduling a new round of immigration hearings, saying three already held have strengthened their case for enforcement-heavy legislation.
Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday the hearings have made clear that a Senate bill that opens an avenue toward citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants would undermine border security.
He contended that members of both parties are moving toward the House position that the nation's estimated 12 million illegal immigrants should be offered no guarantees against being deported.
"I think the hearings have been an absolute success, and they've put us in a stronger position to craft a responsible bill that secures our borders and strictly enforces our immigration laws," Boehner said.........

* The I-140 and EB-485 waiters, particularly those who filed the cases during the period of FY 2007 July Visa Bulletin fiasco period, are currently receiving either the RFEs and approvals or denials en masse from the Service Centers, turning a lot of waiters into smiley faces. On behalf of all of these smiley faces, we want to send our message of "THANK YOU" to the leaders of the USCIS and the Honorable Napolitano of DHS for the action in place to remove the backlogs. Thank you, Thank you, and THANK YOU!!

Hi,
At last, our priority dates are current.
Now, we have to go and submit Medical Examination Results.
My Wife is pregnant and I was told by my friends that it is not a good idea to get her immunized (vaccines) now. She might probably have taken most of them back in INDIA.
Is there a way we can apply for I-485 and get EID's without her immunization record? (I will have mine). I am sure there are others who are in the same boat.
Please advice.
They do immunization after determining your antibodies. No immunization required if you have adequate level of antibodies.
For Pregnant woman, Doctors will not do it even if you want to. I guess you are okay. Dr. will mention that in your med form

Hi,
Could someone guide me what to do with my situation.. here's what happened so far
1. Applied for passport renwal at CGI Houston and USPS tracking tells me it was delivered on Jan7th 2009. It was about to expire on Jan24th 2009.
2. I waited for almost this long and called them this week, they said they dont have it in the system and not even in the return sender list.
3. USPS says they delivered. All i had is just delivery confirmation, shud have had a signature or certified mail or rather used Fedex.
Not going back to USPS ever again, needless to say it was painful to get CGI Houston on the phone only to hear that they cant find my passport application....
Could someone please help with ideas !
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Many are porting to EB2 from EB3, Hope that clears some traffic @EB3. I hope USCIS will equally distribute the spill over in year or two with help of IV and lawfirms.
Its in 10s. Not even in 100s. And sadly, the DAMN drunk USCIS not taking this into consideration while setting a cut off dates for EB3 I. Either Visas get wasted or spilled over to other categories that are already in good shape, for ex EB 2 (Not specifically India).
