I truly believe, though IV's efforts can impact a little bit, they have to join other organizations to strengthen the efforts and results.
As I said before, IV should step up for EB3-I/C/ROW cause since policies seem to be working in favor of other EBs (which is good) but EB3 is stuck..
Here are some paths to consider.
1. IV has established relationships with some key politicians through the advocacy days, may be that channel can work
or
2. Allow interfiling with spouse
or
3. Allow folks to file I-485 for an approved I-140 even if the dates are not current
or
4. Have an endless EAD and AP (by endless I mean 5 years)
or
5. Recapture (Tie it to a bill...eg Zoe Lofgren or Feigngold will not sign Finance reform bill unless lost EB visas are recaptured). It will help EB2 folks as well. Give Feingold a call, he is voting no on Finance reform. May be he can kick in something for legal EB folks (similar to cornhusker) and may vote Yes and be the 60th vote.
What I suggest you guys to do is build upon these ideas above rather than destroy it or be sarcastic about it.

It looks like to me that Porters strike again. they have eaten all the Visa's. very few approvals so far. I am worried about next bulletin now. dates can go back now. every EB3 is porting to EB2.
we see the results. they will block EB2 too.

Received our approval notices in the mail today. Infact, our immigration attorney received them first. No emails, no SMS, no SRs. Online status still shows "Initial Review".
Its been almost 10 years to the date. I wish all my friends on IV good luck and hang in there.
Along the journey, IV has provided a lot of help & support and I will certainly be sticking around to help in whatever way I can.
GO IV!

I strongly recommend reading and rereading as much as you can about basic fundamentals of trading in general ........Ask tons of questions and evaluate answers.
When you said read and read trading fundamentals, did you mean these listed in a previous thread.
Any one starting out must read a lot. I would suggest:
1. Come into my Trading Room- By Elder
2. The Equity Trader Course- By Schwartz
3. Trading and Exchanges: Market Microstructure for Practitioners- By Harris
For those of you a little sophisticated:
1. Volatility Trading- By Sinclair or By Johannes
2. The Options course- By Fontanills
3. Bible of Option trading- By Guy
4. Quantitative Trading- By Chan

I think CITIZENShip years Credit or Reduction in the years is Make most sense for the highly skilled immigrant from India and China as those are the people who suffers most because of backlog and name check.
I also think we should stick to the "five year federal taxes paid" beacuse that is what they expect from normal family based GC holder. Also adding Masters and Higher degrees in the STEM fields attract possible more support.
We should not talk any where close to 10 /15 years waiting time as that is not what current system of citizesnship talks about.
Also marriage based GC already has 3 years after GC rule so it may beeasy to get it.
Making it more complicated like Percent credit for before GC filing, after GC filing, after getting GC May become hard and complicated to convenince politicains who might be amending those rules.
So Keeping it simple - 5 yr federal taxes, MS or higher in STEM, 3 years after GC - you get citizenship (all of these has precedents)
IV Core team, have a look into the valid and genuine ideas on citizenship in this thread and try to include them in the phase 2 campaign. For our long term vision & goal, this should also be a part of our campaign.

If a person joins IV to declare his GC; it can be assumed that he knows IV exists and it's goals but never bothered to show up earlier till the magical email.
Correct. There maybe many such people. And we see it as our failure too. Because as a community we have not raised enough awareness about us. Some people maybe seeing us just a forum and lot more outreach work is needed by our active members. Each one of us should contact our friends and tell them about IV. New members on IV should get answers to their questions as well as information about related advocacy work done by IV politely urging them to help out. Other websites and forums should also help raise awareness about what we do so that the community understand that what we do is for the benefit of the community and it is a community effort.

Pl send your template so that we can write to our senators/reps etc
Well, I think every one should write in their own way, but here are few imp things i feel.
-> sympathy point first ,How long you have been waiting
-> how much +ve impact was from your contribution to this country ( employer )
-> what are you
-> how you can be helped.
here is my cry...i have x'ed to mask some personal matter.
Respected Sir,
I am taking courage to write to you after a long wait of 7-8years legally. I have been working since last 9 years for a Dallas based small company ( xxx Inc) with revenue of around $xxx a year. My skills contributed this company to stay in competition with billion dollar companies ( xxx,xxx,xxx). My wife in similar field is serving xxx ( xxx ), Fort worth.
We are highly skilled professionals from India, and have plans to contribute even more by establishing our own company and generate more income.
Since last 10 years I have been paying my taxes,ssn,medicare without fail.
Mine and my wife's Permanent residency process ( Green Card process ),EB3-India, is stuck since last 7.5years and with current pace it may take another 4years, a total of 11-12 years.
I am not sure about the relief through CIR.
During now thru CIR interim, I request you to instruct USCIS to apply the spill over of unused employment visas in the order of oldest priority date and not by the by category.
Right now, the spill over benefit is helping the applicants who applied 3years after me.
If 1) spill over order would have not changed 2years back and
2) 245(i) applicants would have not clubbed into existing quota,
my life would have been in order, and I would have not bothered you.
Please help,
I love America ( A country of Great People and Land )

Let me know if i have send any wrong inline information!

Thanks Andy for something authentic. What is VCO advisory? Does this advisory reset dates in VB?
The AILA memo says this:
We have been informed that USCIS HQ has instructed the NSC and TSC to reject employment based I-485 applications in the third preference �Other Workers� based on a memo sent by the DOS�s VO to USCIS advising that as of June 6, 2007, there would be no further authorization of visa numbers in this category.
According to this the VO or VCO can advise CIS to stop asking for numbers.
Is this a violation of the law?
Of course not.
AILA is trying to establish a precedent by saying that only the VB is the one that should determine the visa availabulity.

GC wait is a slow poison. everytime you compromise on the career front you console yourself saying it is a small thing, but when you look at it in hindsight you can see how this process chokes your career slowly. well we should think about those less fortunate than us and move on.....
I thought i was the oldest, but someone got a GC this week after 16 yrs wait. my first attempt was in 1998 sept (never filed and sat in the lawyers office for 6 months) while i was working hard. Second went into NY DOL (2001) and after 4 yrs my company shut down - labor was in backlog center. Last attempt started in 2005. Aug 11th it will be 15 yrs. Not sure what i am doing here or why i am clinging on to this. Hanging in the same field, no growth and no enthu. Most of my friends put up their citizenship oath taking pics in facebook or are back in india
we waited so long, hang in there for a few more days. hope all will be fine.

If we are claiming to be best and the brightest having high skills and inventing then it is EB1 and EB2 mostly. By law EB3 is mostly for people who have Bachelor degree and hardly any experience in their field to claim as EB2. It does not matter you are masters from Harvard but by law, if your job requires just a bachelor degree then you are doing basic work at lower management. Legally EB3 have no case if they claim to be best and the brightest inventors. All doctors get EB2 or EB1. All managers with advanced degrees get EB2. All Scientists and PhD holders get EB1 and EB2. So EB3 is mostly people who are low skilled programmers, people in professions doing lower line work or people who despite having higher degrees are doing jobs that do not need advanced skills to be the brightest folks immigrating in USA. There are some exceptions of people who are screwed by their lawyers and employers by forcing them in EB3. These people should fight with their lawyers and employers or change their jobs to EB2. EB3 do not have a strong legal case to fight for EB3 if they claim to be best and the brightest. It is very humiliating but you like it or not EB3 is grouped with EB3 Other Workers that are waiters, janitors, construction workers, Farm workers etc.
So if we PORT for EB2 then we also become best and brightest?
BTW brightest are only EB1s (since you have EB2s doesn't mean EB2s are brightest)

Having said that, this will be the right time to purse this agenda...Many of the folks suggested, counting date for citizenship from I-485 receipt date or I-140 receipt date. If you google 'Backdate GC', we can see that many other folks in murthy, rajiv khanna forums are also talking about this. So, we might have enough members to pursue this further. Many of us have been here close to 10 years (Me from 2000 on F1, OPT, H1B etc). Its only fair to have some of those years counted towards citizenship.
Pappu, IV leadership,
Please let us know how to proceed further on this...
Yes, I like this one too and posted about this a few times. We can take this agenda forward. I think we'll have a lot of supporters...
This might already be in IV's agenda. Pappu? Can you shed some light in this matter?

On USCIS status, it says.." On October 11, 2007, we received this I485..." .
Processing time for TSC is Aug07.. Does this mean my case will not processed now?

Please excuse my ignorance but what is a "red-eye" ?
There is a flight leaving BWI airport by 9:15p - I guess that may be a good option?
What are the options to travel from BWI Airport to IV gathering point?
Red EYE.... Red-eye flight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-eye_flight)
If you are going back to West Coast, they are not called RedEye flights.

The priority dates could retrogress to their current levels, or further back, as soon as August 1st, but definitely by October 1st, once enough green cards have been issued for the 2007 fiscal year.
2008 quota starts Oct 1. So it does not make sense to retrogress Oct 1.

If you have account in BOA with 25K, you can do 30 trading per month for free. Also I have some good tips for long terms investors like people who are planning to settle here. The plan is to buy the stocks from companies directly and reinvest the dividend. When you are not paying the commission and investing the dividend, you can get very good return in the long run.
If any one interested please let me know...
Hi Snathan, will be able to give more details / explain more on -- The plan is to buy the stocks from companies directly and reinvest the dividend. When you are not paying the commission and investing the dividend, you can get very good return in the long run.

So that means you know nothing about how IV works, no point in arguing about something you don't know anything about. You can rather spend time on figuring how cows fly.
Its quite strange and selfish that you couldn't even think of sparing $25 for an organization working for immigrants in 4 years. Many of our senior members are in EB3.
Nobody is selling anything to you. This is not a political party. If you can't support IV, its only you who is going to be the loser, no one else.
I know how IV works and if you want argument i can give you several. Now you are trying to be be eloquonet and talk about how cow fly. Now let me try to set the record straight. If you talk about how cows fly i will talk about how pigs fly not as an argument but as a cofirmation of the fact that EB3 folks are no less educated and proficient in english as EB2 folks
Why do you EB2 folks think you are gods gift to heaven !!!! Guys get out of your superiority complex you are the same as EB3
