It is the fourth option.
- EB3I just bury their heads in sand looking for a miracle and they have lost hope.
Also, no clear directionality from leadership.
Hi Raju,
You hit the nail on its head. The Eb3I participation is very very less. Look at EB2 specific threads. There are 25000 views. EB3I specific threads is a mere 2000. In fact EB3I is supposed to be a biggger group.
Here are my theories:
- EB3I guys lost hope in IV and stopped visiting IV
- EB3I guys work in low level jobs without access to Internet even in office or home (certainly cannot be the case)
- EB3I does not know about IV at all for the past 4 years (hmmm...)
- EB3I just bury their heads in sand looking for a miracle
This is a bigger problem than the EB3I backlog problem.
I know many guys in this forum who are regular contributers are missing here. What really is going on?

Keep the Aroras seperate , that is, Puneet Arora and Sumita Arora....these guys would not miss a single chance to beat each other up. (not related-clarification!)
Here is a scene I was in:
Paskal(Puneet) is driving - Sumita is sitting on the passenger seat - we have no idea where we are going. It is 2:00a.m and we are REALLY hungry and tired...
Sumita "I will give you directions from my Tom - Tom " I think she meant GPS.
Puneet (after taking several wrong turns) "It is not a Tom - Tom"?
Sumita- " whateverer it is , it gives me directions and I talk to it" (She was spending 4 hrs. driving each day with this TomTom ).
Puneet - "ok, let's follow our friends".
Sumita dials.
Vandana(in the other car) - "Yeah you can follow us".
Puneet - "well where are you guys"
Vandana - "We are trying to figure out, I don't know how we got here - Let me consult my GPS"
This is what happens when you are sleep deprived, food deprived - all the gadgets in the world cannot help you.
Jane( a chinese) - "why do you guys have to eat anyway, it is time to sleep???"

The point is to get a Bill created eventually and have a campaign. We have to start somewhere.
You are talking about bringing a bill:
How many congressman and Senators have you met till now ?
You want to bring a bill without lobbying. So tell your plans. Let us all see.
You created your new ID, started a thread and you think that is a good start. I need to see something real in an idea than believing in your idea.

I have only have the new I-94 showing my H1-B status.
Thanks.
Another thing, my employer has the original approval notice I-797, I only have the I-94 part of it.

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

Sorry to hear about your aging out issue. I think there are more out there than anyone realizes.
My son aged out while I was waiting for labor cert clearance too. He is now 22 and has been in the US since was 14.
I hope and pray every day there will be some relief for our families.
Every now and then another case pops up here on immigration voice and I feel it entirely appropriate that this issue is put in with the aims of the group since it is a problem entirely created by the broken employment based immigration process.
Please listen to our voices core group and do not forget us. We are in the same queue as you all whose children benefit as derivative green card applicants, our children are just a little older when they came here and have become forgotten victims.

I called 4 member, the person at frontdesk didn't transfer me anywhere. Also, they knew why I am calling and they remember all three Bill Numbers by heart now.
When I said Can I leave the message then I was told we got your message Sir, and I will pass on the message to Senator.
The frontdesk staff is instructed not to transfer our calls to the right person in their office. So after calling 4 members, I stopped.
Thanks.

Why are you equating quality of life to owning a house?
- Because you are an "owner"? No you are not! You are renting the house from the bank
- Because you have a backyard?- go out and rent a house. They are a dime a dozen, will cost you half the cost of your monthly mortgage payment
- Because you have peace of mind? Really. Read your other post on people getting laid off
- Because your (ok someone else's) kid asked if you are poor? Really? A kid's innocent question is going to make you gamble (that's what investing in an immovable asset is in your situation) away a decade of savings?
- Because you want to give your child the best possible childhood? Think about it, if things turn for the worse either in your economy/company/job (absolutely do not wish it on anyone), and you are forced to move/sell the house/get foreclosed upon etc., how much more have you hurt your family and traumatized them in your effort to give them a great childhood?
- How many nights of peaceful sleep have you lost lying awake wondering what you would do if you/your spouse lost a job, had to move etc.?
I still cannot understand how/why someone would buy a house in the bay area ($700K+ for a SFH in a minimally liveable area) and $1M+ in places like Cupertino.
I will enjoy my quality of life in my rented condo (with a rent 1/3rd of the monthly mortgage payment it would take to buy it) and take my 2 year old to the park if he feels like he needs a back yard. Dont need to mow the lawn either!

I don't agree with this comment. I don't have full confidence on congress to pass full CIR bill this year. After this year, the hope will get dimmer. This proposal is better than nothing. It can propably release EB2 immediately. And move EB3 forward significantly.
Although it is not passed, we should push for anything that contains some EB relief.
02/02/2007: What Did Senator Kerry Immigration Reform Bill Mean to EB Immigrants?
In highsight, the failure of the Kerry Amendment to H.R.2 to pass the Senate could be considered a relief to the EB immigrants. Review of the immigration reform bill in the H.R. will establish that the bill proposed for the employment-based immigration system practically nothing other than increasing the annual quota to 290,000. None of the provisons in the SKIL bill was reflected in the bill, including exemption of the spouses and children from from the numerical limitations, exemption of certain EB groups from the annual numerical limits, opportunity for filing I-485/765/131 for the I-140 beneficiary during the visa number retrogression, etc. etc. etc.! Had this been enacted, it would have affected the upcoming CIR bill or special legislation for Employment-Based immigration system reform. This reporter was shocked to learn that this bill provided practically no relief for the employment-based imigrants other than farm workers and the children eligible for DREAM Act bill. The bill was extremely imbalanced legislation in a way from the perspectives of the "Comprehensive" Immigration Reform.
We will see whether the Senate leaders will indeed complete and introduce the CIR proposal next month.

I think it will take almost a month before there is significant number of members who sign up for recurring payments. So, keep it up and spread the word.
I was wondering how many of 8400 messages were undelivered?
We dont really have a month. The work on the bill is happening even now behind the scene. We wish to put in more resources and plan for more resources in the coming months. We are still getting a lot of bounced messages. people have given us email ids like abcd@abcd.com. Well, to such people we say that they will not be hearing any announcements from IV when we send a newsletter with announcements. And sometimes sensitive information will be given by phone or to contributing members only. So all must update their profile with full information and signup for recurring contributions. We may not make sensitive updates public on the forum. This will be an incentive for people to sign up for monthly contributions.

Thnks, for the fax # , hope I get my EAD/AP soon, I had applied for AP on 4/9/2010 and EAD on 4/15/2010. My EAD is valid till Aug 3rd . My wife's EAD is till July 21st.
I sent both to Phoenix lock box as Im in CA. My checks havent been cashed yet, both were paper filing , in the past the checks used to be cashed in a week and I used to get the receipts in the mail within a weeks time.
Has any one been in a situation where they havent got EAD renewal in 90 days and has been successful in getting the interim EAD from the local USCIS office? Plz post their experiences here.

I have a question Desertfox....
I need some help. I am a non substanially comparable position candidate and I have been aduited. The CO mentioned that my job seems similar and want me to provide more information on my job duties so my manager and I worked together to ensure that my jobs were different to meet the requirements and I resubmitted my case. Does anyone know what the DOLs view on substainally comparable position candidates? Am I likely to get denied? I am in the a position that is not the typical IT role but working with HR and wanted to know what the DOL's response might be and if i am likely to get denied. Also, I am a fragormen client who is recently being audited so I'm nervous. Can you anyone help me??!?!?!

I agree with Randy. I think Ron Gotcher mentioned something very similar. what I am not sure about is:
Can one apply for CP after I-485 been pending with USCIS?? is that possible?? does than mean that EAD and AP will be automatically not valid to be used?? do we have to be current in the VB to apply for CP??
Thanks
There is an advantage to filing through CP when USCIS is slow to process applications. According to statistics this has been the case for last 10 years with USCIS.
CP approvals are pretty fast and when you apply they do not wait till the dates to become current, NVC process the application to the point where the only thing it needs is a visa number.
For example April 1st when an applicants PD is current NVC will request a visa number for the applicant and any derivative applicants around the 10th of April (this is stadard practice). Then typically in the next 60 days (May or June in this case) schedule the interview. You get the visa after successful interview.
If you filed AOS, USCIS is supposed to pull your case and start working on it when PD become current. From what we hear they do not do this properly, they do not follow establised guildlines (FIFO). CP has a distinct advantage in this regard. Only thing is you do not get to have EAD/AP.
