Great initiative and kudos to NolaIndian for making it happen!
I walked 12 miles yesterday. Today i feel the pain when i walk. Anyways, you can count me in for that part. I am not sure if i can commit myself to the SF event... I need some more time to make up my mind.
Hi Jthomas,
Thanks for your support!!
Please PM me your e-mail address or send me an e-mail to us at TeamIV@yahoo.com so that we can get the Team IV Membership form to you.
If you can walk 12 miles, you can certainly walk the San Francisco 5K and raise money for IV at the same time. And you can also attempt a Half Marathon (13.1 miles), we have one in Houston in January 2009.
Team IV needs dedicated fitness walkers/runners like yourself.
Thanks,
NolaIndian

once USCIS gets a visa number from DOS for a "pre-adjudicated" app, it has to complete the approval and assign the visa number within 7 days, if not the visa number has to be returned back to DOS.
In this case they requested too prematurely.

It is mindblowing to see insensitive posts with regard to folks stuck at BEC.
IV core has stated repeatedly that the BEC issue is on its agenda. Thanks.
To those members who say that "life isn't fair so get over it": We are here at IV not to get used to unfairness, but to do something about it. I was stuck at BEC for many years. It is the most unpredictable of all GC stages; and those who didn't have to go through the BEC mess should consider themselves lucky. Cases can drag on for years; cases get closed arbitrarily; and there is hardly any way to communicate with the BECs. Try to understand the difficulties of those stuck at BECs instead of trying to make fun of them.

Hi WaitingBoy,
You're correct... I don't have that as a fact; I was based on Ron's statement to SNATHAN.
Thank you.
Hi Usirit
How do you know that your case has been moved to Atlanta and is not in Chicago?
Did you get a letter or something.

well I would like to add, I do know details of how a Bill gets created, is reviewed, gets to the Floor of the house, Senate and becomes law.
I do know that once a member of either house presents a Bill, it has to be sponsored, supported by others and go to a sub-committee first. sometimes gets added to other bills.
lets assume by luck or other means it somehow makes it to the floor.
Lets get educated first on the process before we start assuming anything - How a bill becomes a law (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/images/7/7c/How_a_bill_becomes_a_law.pdf). We will then understand how to advocate for the changes we are seeking...

This is really Crazy....
People are waiting form 2001 for GC and these guys have open flood gates.. and I have been seeing approvals for 2003 / 2004 cases.. and no wonder they will approve next month cases also..
Where is the Justice?
Not sure.. how this kind of advanced country can do things like this very happazzard with out proper process and procedures.
Not sure what they are up to..
Probally they will get more papers on illegals now..
only thing they have to outsource this process to India / China.. to move things fast.
Dont know if we need to laugh or cry at these people procedure and process..
Hope things will go as First In First Out which is ethical and justification way to move things.
Hope some one from high level of USCIS looks at my message and take necessary actions and set right there process and procedures..
no other words to explain this Irony of Life..

So Monkeyman, once a person comes to US, he/she should never complain, obey the orders and become subservient, and if treated like dirt, should still shut one's mouth. Looks like you are happy to be a slave to the system!!
Personally speaking, these INDIAN (yes thats with caps) body shops are the reason of H1B abuse. But what can USCIS do if there are crooks sitting in Hyd selling H1Bs for few lakhs.
And people have either become so naive or are really desparate that they fall into their traps as was evident by some lady on murthy forum who incessantly advocated that one needs to get H1B before looking for a job!!

As another member said, please display the list of all members who paid.
Also, to all the registered members in IV, why dont we send an email as a gentle reminder?
The email can also include the list of members who donated/pledged to attend the event. That might motivate others to contribute atleast financially?

to put numbers to your guess, I am guessing roughly even at an optimistic approach, 1000 applications from EB3-I from 2002 may have ported to eb2 or left the country and nothing more than. Why not we do these guys. just a IV sampling poll. Lets create a poll for IV members alone, for eb3-I alone. Lets give all the 12 months as option, and people can update. We can atleast know how many cases are waiting in eb3-I from IV alone for the year 2002. What say you guys? any one wants to take up the initiative? We can also Add an option additionally for 2003 cases and so forth as one option. Our goal is to find how many of us here in IV are waiting with 2002 PD for eb3-I.
EB3I dates never really crossed 2001 after the JUL 07 drama which screwed all EB3 in my opinion.
1) USCIS never looked at those cases which got ported out. So if they try to process cases in 2002 they might end up finding lesser cases needing approval than they actually counted, could be bcoz of porting or people who gave up and left the country. USCIS is auto porting the date if you have old labor and i140, I know few friends who got GC like that.
2) At this pace EB2 will be current by mid next year, once it is processing time for 485 is at least 4 months which will fall into 2012, so the same huge number of spill will come to EB3 ROW. If the spill over is too much USCIS may consider spilling it to worst retrogressed countries.
3) The as&***s who decided to change the spill to vertical might get bitten by a mad donkey or a dog and might change it back to the old model. I don't see any &&)) why all the spill has to go vertically from 2007, bcoz we irritated USICS or DOS by kissing their weak spots.
4) As per my Karma or belief model whatever IV does, hurts EB3 more. I don't think any admin fix will fix the vertical spill or recapture.
Good luck EB3 i guys and try to keep ur frustration levels to LOW.

... there was a time when it used to be horizontal spillovers. i.e. remaining EB3 from other countries used to go to EB3 I/C/M, and remaining EBx from other countries used to go to EBx I/C/M. (same level to same level)
At that time EB3 I used to get around ~15K-20K, from other countries. Then all of a sudden USCIS started vertical spillover, i.e. any remaining numbers from other countries no matter what EBx, will go to EB1 I/C/M and then fall to EB2 I/C/M and then to EB3 I/C/M.
This way EB3-I gets nothing as everything is consumed at EB2-I level.
If there is a way to get USCIS to start horizontal spillover again, then things can get OK, as USCIS does not need any law change, or any legislation change for this policy.
How can we confirm the spillover interpretation. I am not familiar with the spillover rules but my understanding was that only if there in an excess in EB2 then the spillover gets down to EB3. Am I wrong or as per rules should spillover be distribued equally? If it has to be distributed equally then we need to do a mass mail or something and ask USCIS to explain. Even if 50 of us send letters to USCIS ther mihgt be some action.

a lot has been said about non participation from the region nearby to DC.
but this post is about something very different. i would like to highlight the
very important role that our members and volunteers from tri state and the DC area played in the rally. they worked against all odds and deserve sincere thanks.
tri state: this is the most dedicated bunch there is...singhsa3, chanduv23, tnight, siravi, mpadapa, mbartosik, poonam and many others worked tirelessly against serious odds to cover the region with fliers and motivate rally goers and contributors. i'm sure i'm forgetting someone...very sorry...tell me and i'll edit :-) tikka whose commitment to iv is always without question made it to the rally despite serious work constraints and always set an example for others to follow. singhsa3 unfortunately could not and we were only too glad to stand in for him.
the two buses from tri state were arranged by singhsa3 and mpadapa and were superbly managed by laborchic and GreenGrass...sounds like everyone had a great time! we are all confident that the tri state chapter will build over time and will be a force to reckon with- how can it not- it has the most able leaders and volunteers there are....
i have to confess to bugging these folks on a constant basis about spreading the message, in retrospect it was not needed in the least...they walked the talk everyday, took time off work, posted and distributed fliers, called members and did everything one could ask and much more. please join me in thanking the tri state chapter for a lot of hard work and endless motivation to our common cause!
and then the local volunteer team from DC/MD/VA, superbly led by a tireless guy who had a full plate throughout - nixstor! i think many rally goers missed how much work was put in by the local folks, they ran a host program- picked up and dropped from airports and put people up. they were ready and willing to do all asked of them starting saturday itself, and on rally day they were responsible for the whole operation- marshals for the rally and ensuring that after everyone departed the two grounds we used were cleared and cleaned as needed. having been there myself i cannot begin to underestimate how much work remained even after the rally was over. i hesitate to name...arun, girdhar and samir- i know, but there were so many others that worked- that i will let the local team chime in here. a special word for sukh- the man is just incredible. from arranging hotels to buying stationary to arranging flowers and flagpoles to helping with the gurudwaras to running the uhaul and the van..and not least getting more than 800 placards ready for the rally- his work never stopped. we all owe a debt of gratitude to the DC area folks who made this rally possible.
let's stop complaining about what may have been for local attendance and instead celebrate the tri state and DC area chapters for what they did do and what they will...for sure ...in the future as well :)

I have applied for birth certificate at Indian Consulate, SFO and received from them. They simply attested the information on my Passport on their letter head..will that be sufficient or I should get it from MRO/etc from India?
The birth certificate you get from the Consulate is not sufficient for I-485. If you don't have a birth certificate from the Municipal corporation of the city where you were born: then you need a Non-Availability certificate from that Municipal Corporation + 2 affidavits from close relatives.
Check with your lawyer for more information.

High number of approvals over the first few days were expected. Centers review/preadjudicate cases based on 'real' receive dates (which are close to notice dates), as physical files are sorted in that sequence. That is happening. Sept VB was available couple of weeks ago, which prepared them to issue formal approvals as soon as September starts. USCIS SOP describes that once cases are preadjudicated they are shelved (wating for visa) in sequence of PD's. Therefore, most approvals are preadjudicated cases.
Congratulations to All who got approved. Best wishes to those still counting. If you ND is not too far from published dates (i.e. it is sometime in Aug/Sep/Oct 07), and your PD is high, there is very high chance of you getting a good news soon.

This really is height of optimism......it seems that readers think that USCIS IOs were desperately waiting for dates to get current and start approving applications...reality is they don't care and never cared..they may start issuing more RFEs if anything...Again stay rooted to ground and don;t start floating in the clouds....especially with USCIS's fantastic track record.....
