As a start, I've decided to start walking in my office garage for half an hour before lunch.
This is a perfect example of motivation, time management and dedication to improving your lifestyle and IV.
Kudos to Needhelp!
My office is only on the 2nd floor of the building where I work, but at as much as possible, I take the stairs, going up as much as 4 flights and down as many as 18!!
Whether you are getting back into shape or trying to sustain a healthy life style, this is a perfect way to staying on top of your goal!! And in the process of self-improvement you are raising money for IV!! How noble is that!!:)

we should legalize all illegals after they agree to the following
each illegal will buy ( start making payments) a new american car
(GM/ford or chrys)
that will guarantee that the US economy takes off ...more jobs are created
and everyone will be happy
plus the illegals pay their fines in form of buying american cars
say what

I filed on March 26th in TSC (paper filing). Got receipt dated April 7th. Still waiting. I cannot continue the job as my H1B expired. Anybody knows what should I do to get it expedited. I guess people at USCIS are very unpredictable and work according to the mood. I did not anticipate this as earlier I filed EAD for my wife and son and I got it in three weeks.
There is a fax number you can send a letter to expedite your EAD case. You need to mention that you are not able to work and will face extreme financial hardship if you do not recieve your EAD in time. we had sent a fax for our renewal last time and it worked.

how about Washington DC consulate?
I am hoping they are more prompt. It has been 5 working days since I sent mine....
I did mine in 2006, got back in 2.5 weeks.

Hmmm... humorous stories...
Well there was gsc999 and jazz trying to pull a "room service" gag on Drona and myself, but they went to the wrong room...
...And the dump of a hotel didn't have room service to begin with... :)
... but a lot of the others must stay in DC :)
Absolutely.... :)

The number of cases approved during 2002-2005 was at least 2-3 times what was being approved now(when recapture was in force)... improving efficiency will not give us any more visas... if there are 100k waiting for a GC they will still keep waiting no matter how efficient USCIS is. The fact of the matter is that they can only approve 3k per category per country. recaptured visas are free of country and category caps. It will not cause divisions or issues and will help unite everyone behind one cause. Other short term issues dont help(multiyear EADs or APs and such)...they just prolong the pain and drain money every year. The queue can only be reduced, by time or attrition or more output... we can all agree which is better.
Firstly the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of un-used visa's is a clear indicator of poor USCIS efficiency. Even if the recapture visa effort bears fruit and people will get interim benefit it will do nothing to improve the efficiency of processing cases at USCIS which I think is the root cause of this problem. Yes there is also a supply and demand situation but unless USCIS improves the delays and backlogs may not stand a chance.

There are too many assumptions here. How I see this situation is;
EB3 I will not move significantly unless and until oversubscribed EB2s become current. Even then, it cannot be taken as granted because the demand of EB2s can take all the spill over and be current without spilling to EB3. USCIS will eventually make the change once they see that EB3 has significant retrogression and there is a lot of noise made about it.
The solution I see is; we can make a valid presentation showing the effects of this spillover change in the long run and how EB3s will be affected seriously.
If DOS continues with this interpretation of spillover then there is a very small (tiny) window coming up in third quarter of FY 2010 (Apr'2010) where we might see some spillover to EB3. Here is how:
Currently there are total 4050 (EB1) + 74932 (EB2) = 78982. These are mostly pre-adjudicated and waiting for VISA numbers.
Total allocation for new FY is 140K out of which 40K (28.6%) will go to EB3. So EB1 and EB2 will have 100K left but their total demand is only 78982. So these 21K numbers will be left which will be used for new applications recieved under EB2 category.
When PD for EB2-I/C moves forward, there will be more applications coming in because many EB2-I/C people have their labor approved and they are waiting to file their I-485. However, when these new applications comes in, they are NOT processed yet and their background check is not clear yet. So even if visa numbers are available for them, they are not ready to be approved.
So at this time we poor EB3 people can hope some mercy from DOS and we hope that DOS might spill those remaining 21K numbers to EB3 so we don't waste any numbers while USCIS is adjudicating those newly recd applications under EB2.
If this 21K spillover happens then we EB3-I have to hope for another mercy from DOS that they give these 21K spillover numbers strictly based on Priority dates in EB3 and not based on EB3-ROW first and then EB3-C and then EB3-M/P and then EB3-I. We expect DOS to give these spillover based on PD and not based on country of chargeability. If that happens then all these numbers will go to EB3-I and we might see it moving to 2003.
And this is a fair expectation from DOS that they give spillover numbers based on PD because that is what they are doing in EB2-. When EB2-ROW numbers goes to EB2-I and EB2-C they go based on PD and hence EB2-I gets most of the numbers.
My two cents. Please post your comments on my theory.
If we all EB3 agrees to above theory then we should seek help from IV to make sure that spillover to EB3 happens based on PD whenever it happens.
Thanks.

Not able to leave a VM with one of the offices. I will try again on Monday.
Kudos to the CORE team and everybody else who is helping this cause!
P.S. Lately haven't been able to spend much time on/ for IV, but this opportunity is too important to let go!!!
Just called the office of Rep. Hilda Solia, but here I see the poll is already closed. Please add 1 to the "I called all these offices".
BTW the first thing I was asked by this office was "Is this call related to bills HR 5882 and..."
So, GOOD SHOW EVERYBODY:)

06/20/2006: Eerie Silence on Immigration in Beltway and Our Report Policy
* Washington, D. C. is usually a center and sources of news for government policies, including legislation, that determines our lives. This is particularly true with the immigration. Nowadays, however, the Beltway is eeriely silent on immigration both at the level of legislation and at the level of government agencies. Obviously, this is a hot summer and vacation season. Besides, every issue is poised to the midterm national election. But this is somewhat unusual.
* Under the circumstances, this web site considers any discussion of comprehensive immigration reform legislation pointless and we will cease our review and discussion on this issue on our site at least for awhile. We have thus removed the Q&A for S. 2611. We have decided that we would rather review some complicated immigration issues that most of immigrants face day in and day out regardless of the activities in the Beltway.
* As for the ongoing policies and practices of the government agencies, we expect that the representatives from these agencies in the AILA National Conference in San Antonio will be able to supply to the thirsty mouth of immigrants drops of waters. This reporter will report the news from San Antonio conference site from tomorrow. There are some hot issues which the immigrant community hopes to learn as to the agencies' future direction and timelines. Sometimes, these officials wait and break certain news at the AILA National Conferences each year. We will wait and see what those news could be. Please stay tuned to this website for the "Washington Update" report by this reporter from San Antonio.

let me take a guess - at the minimum - 2 years for your PD and 4-5 years for my PD.
I am quite confused. My date is June 2002 first week .
Not sure if it makes sense to Port to Eb2 , but big uknown is how long it would take PD to move up to June 2002.

I am starting this thread for people to share some nice sweet memories about the rally.
This Part 1 is basically for "WHO MET WHO"
Most of us in these forums - we talked on phones for a long time and discussed a lot of topics - and we met each other in real at the rally.
I was excited - and I want to share some of my experiences.
Please post some experiences on this thread like mine below
I drove from New York with 5 other dedicated IV members ie tnite, tikka, siraviny, ps57002 and a new member Arun
At the Rally I met Niloufer(needhelp) and Vandana, drona and other volunteers at the registration desk and was nice to meet you all.
Then came paskal and gsc999 who stuck a badge on my shirt "chanduv23" and then I met Shivakanth, Vijay Anand and other folks.
After that I met Macaca - lovable guy, some core members like indio0617, ashish, tamsen.
Then I met pappu. As soon as I greeted him he stood up. I thought he was respecting me. I felt honored. But after a while - he was standing up to anyone who greets him. Then I figured out that was his habit - and no respect or whatever :D:D:D
Then met Abhijeet who was carrying his guiter and then jazzbythebay, janilsal and other folks and Jay and Aman and all core team members
Then I met all the Chinese friends in the NY chapter, Jane, Sophia and it was nice knowing them
I did miss out a few names - but overall I loved this experience of meeting you all the folks

regarding the state chapters
this is what i found on the page following your link
At first i thought there was no state chapter for California. Only after searching the page for the word "california" did i find the ones for Southern California and Northern California
which are not states but just different parts of California.
Was i supposed to magically just guess that it is listed this way...or am i a moron who just does not understand this simple thing?
Its plain and simple.
You have described yourself already in your post and you said the word Moron.
Why it is so hard for you to understand Northern California and Southern California?
