Thanks for your response.
If you have an argument with some members on the forum, I think it should be restricted to just that. Calling every EB2 applicant a bigot is rude and uncalled for.
My colleague who recommended me to this forum is an EB2 applicant and is supportive of complete EB backlog elimination and is active in the IV state chapter inspite of getting his green card last year. Even the EB2 applicants on this particular thread have largely tried to point to how we should focus on the larger issue instead of fighting among ourselves. If you do not believe in IV, thats your choice - but I think we need this platform to achieve any relief for EB3.
I look forward to working on IV action items and lawmaker meetings. lets get this issue resolved for every EB applicant
Hear that you EB2 bigoted persons. Here is An EB3 person who is supporting IV inspite of what ever is happening. Will this open your eyes to the fact that EB3 folks are not against EB2 folks,but all that they want is that they should get some measure ofjustice.
Mr gc_dream2009. I feel a respect for you which i do NOT feel for EB2 folks who have tried to denigrate whatever i talked about (Must be their superiority complex)
I would now like to comment on some facts which are result of my observation over a period of 3 years starting from 2007 till current date
The only proposal which helped EB3 is July 2007 fiasco with EAD and AP benefit and before we give thanks to IV please remember that back peddeling by USCIS was not just because of just IV but also because of strong pressure from AILA. If EB3 benefited from July 2007 fiasco it is only because EB3 was part of all the EB categories and not because IV was aware of EB3 plight.
Now after July 2007 nothing has been ever done to relieve pressure on EB3. All the benefit have been provided to EB2 and all EB3 is told is after EB2 gets current EB3 wil get benefit but nobady talks about EB2 never getting current and the fact is EB2 will never get current and till that time EB2 will get all spill over visa and EB3 will get 0 (Zero) spil over visas

I just checked my online status one last time for the day; since the USCIS website was down all day. Usually its the same status but now I saw a LUD in today’s date. I checked the case status and both me and my wife have the Card Production Status:D
No emails or text just the update. Called the phone number and got the same message that the card has been ordered.
Its been a very long journey very similar to many here. Its been almost 11 years to a month since we came to this country and had to go through 2 applications to finally reach here. Sacrificed career for the sake of the GC and was at my wits ends with this long wait. Thanks to the almighty the road from here is hopefully green:)
Things I did:
1. Wife opened SR- Got standard response
2. Called congressman- they called and got standard response
3. I opened a SR on Aug 3rd
4. I called today and spoke with standard rep who told me my SR has a response “we are processing the case actively and need additional verification. If you don’t hear in 6-9 months please call back”. I told the level 1 rep I need to talk to level 2 and she transferred.
Level 2 and me spoke at length. She was very considerate and polite. The best info she could give was that my case was being actively adjucated. The case is at TSC, if it was not with an IO it will be in New Hampshire in storage.:eek: Give some more time for the case. I expressed my fear about dates retrogressing and she affirmed “hopefully this time it wont”.
And now I saw the status change. My wife still has a FP on the 12th and I have an infopass which I will cancel.
Best of luck to all who are waiting, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
@ smisachu,
Congratulations!
Still status quo for me so far.

Wow, I am in exactly same boat, So , basically FP results are blocking EAD card production!!... next renewal, It will paper based EAD.!!
-N
EAD e-filed: May 27th
Receipt notices received: 1st week of June
FP done: June 19th
Card production ordered LUD: June 28th
Other soft LUDs: July 25th, July 27th
Still waiting...
InfoPass: This morning...07/28/08
Per the guy at the InfoPass counter, the FP report was received on July 24th (which probably explains the July 25th LUD). He said EAD will not be printed or sent out before FP check is complete. In 2007, they did not run FP checks to issue the first EAD after July fiasco.
So could this explain the delay that folks here are seeing? FP Code 2 was done for EAD, so not sure why this should take so long :mad: Maybe I am mistaken, but I thought that only FP Code 3 that's done for I-485 can take a long, long time. Can someone post info on EAD FP checks?
Update: Here's what I have after some quick research on USCIS biometrics:
http://www.immigrationportal.com/archive/index.php/t-191494.html[/QUOTE]
You guys are atleast having some news to celebrate where in your petitions are approved. Im getting really concerned now as Im approaching closer to the end of my current ead expiration and I dont have any approval yet.
I just dont know what to do
Do you guys have any ideas for me??

barbara boxer, diane finestein, ted kennedy are anti eb immigrants, infact these people might be happy with this fiasco. John cornyn, pat leahey and others who sposored or co-sponsored skill, cantwell amendment are the ones who might help us.
Hi, I did that today. A personalized letter along with copies of the Interim Bulletin and te USCIS press release on July 2.
Next, I want to write to other senators who are friendly to skilled immigrants (Cantwell, Cornyn etc). Has someone compiled a list of them?

Thanks akerd, for posting the link about Accenture-India head count surpassing Accenture-US head count.
Now allow me to ask questions from some members of this form who tend to use the phrase "Indian companies" with negative connotation in their every post.
Do you think Accenture to be an "Indian Company"?
http://inhome.rediff.com/money/2007/apr/06it.htm
Check the above link too...
"The numbers speak for themselves. Accenture expects to reach 35,000 by the end of this financial year, a 52 per cent increase over last year. IBM already has 53,000 people in India, a 23 per cent increase over the previous year. By the end of the current financial year, Tata Consultancy Services plans to add 30,000 employees, taking its total headcount to 113,500. US-based Capgemini plans to employ 40,000 professionals by 2010."

Team IV has significant participation from females. We might be even leading in participation. Here is why I say that
needhelp - Team IV is proud to have her participate with her daughter and her husband
Texanmom - Another great asset to our Team.
santb1975 - 3 out of the 4 members I recruited are female and that includes me. I partnered up with Nola to make this campaign successful as well and I will be partcipating in all three events we picked and may be more. Thanks to my Endurance :-). My friend who is volunteering her time for Team IV is a female as well.
We have more ladies joining us soon. Watchout :p
I know that females are disproportionately represented in these forums - even so.........I would like to see more women participate. Going forward, I will give $10 towards even female who signs up (upto 10 memberships). If you cannot find company, exercise with a cell phone and pepper spray on you.

Each Passport is unique and will have different number each time they issue.. Just staple all your passports together and carry with you for travel.
Hi Guyz,
I just realized that the newly renewed passport has a different number than the original one. It is by choice or by chance ?
Thanks

So was the billed passed or not? Logiclife said "NO", but certain members still say its passed.
Shall we now leave this aside and continue working on our goals or should we take a little time off to celebrate yet?
If at all the bill is passed yesterday then we should congratulate ourself for this wondeful job by IV.

Starsun I would request you to put in another clarification for the benefit of all so that IV Core's stand is well known and published. Predictions & calculations help people to know what the ground reality is and plan their lives. Now we don�t have people on IV whether EB2 or EB3 being sad after every VB because everyone knows when to expect what and predictions and calculations IMHO has gone a long way in correcting that situation.
I read several posts promoting advocacy which is very good however they take pride in trashing predictions and calculations for no apparent reason it seems to be in fashion / vogue. If advocacy has to be promoted it has to be done in a positive way there is no need to trash predictions and calculations at every available opportunity. Some of these immature comments are very disrespectful to the effort that is being put in my many of us on the predictions blog. If some people do not like what is being done on that blog they are really free not to visit but unnecessary comments should really stop or be moderated.
Teddy. The intention of such post is to tell people that they need to look beyond spending time on predictions. Predictions can help people know the extent of the backlog. For some it is a motivating factor because they were in the dark until USCIS started publishing data. People used to think their Greencard is round the corner and had no idea about the backlog. So yes the data and estimations have helped get a clearer picture. And this has benefited our community. IV has worked for several months to get the data from USCIS through its agenda item in the past. Today USCIS is publishing data at regular intervals because IV community had participated in a mass campaign to get FOIA data from USCIS. There is a whole history of advocacy behind the data everyone is using for prediction today and it was advocacy that got things done. However they should not get stuck with it and have a more 360 degree view of the issue. For some predictions are a source of encouragement for advocacy work. People leading predictions can play an important role in giving direction to others and help solve the root cause of the problem.They should be urged use it for the advocacy work as well if possible. For example a good research document can be made to illustrate visually the extent of backlogs and wait times. This document can be then circulated to media and lawmaker offices. Do not look at predictions in isolation. Secondly, the data people are using is still incomplete and has lot of assumptions. I had posted some update on the data in the donor forum early this month based on a recent meeting. So predictions we see on the forums will not be fully correct. People need to use predictions as means rather than consider it as an end.

IV Professional Network is a great idea. Count me in.
Would've joined Team IV too. But distance is a factor stopping me. I can't participate in any of the marathons listed. My moral support is with you guys.
--
Thank you for your support.
NolaIndian sketched major events that we will join for sure. If we were not able to pick events in your area it is not because of lack of events but because of our limited resources.
What you can do is, join team IV, get the IV gear and run/ walk at the local events, you don't have to wait for us to include local events. Next time we will include that event on our calendar.
Hope this helps

My GC was approved today... I came to the US 10 years back. It's been such a long journey that it's tiring to even think about it. The backlog processing center, re-starting the GC process, Several H1b visa stamps, July fiasco rollercoster... At this point I think I am just tired - not happy, not sad...
Good luck to everyone out there!
