I am not really not sure if this is true. Logiclife and other core team members have already mentioned that nothing happened so you might see a correction on immigration-law.com tomorrow, like we have seen before. We all wish it was true, however. :(
i also doubt this. Has this website posted wrong information before?

It is encouraging to know that your case is assigned to an officer that you raised an SR on Aug 3rd. An SR was raised for me on Aug 3rd as well and the customer service rep mentioned that my case is also assigned to an officer...
So, Will Aug 18th be "the day" to look for ?? :D
Good luck to you and let us keep all of our friends posted on the same
Cheers

I booked my ticket a month ago but haven't yet figured out accommodation and travel within DC. I'm flying into DC on Sunday, 3rd morning.
Is someone looking to share a hotel room? Alternately, is any DC area member still looking to offer a spare sleeping bag? :)
I don't know how the DC area works but would preferably like to stay closer to the event hotel. If not, I'm open to renting a car and sharing cost to get in/out of DC (heard the traffic is a nightmare though).
Please PM me directly or reply here. I'm joining the conference call tonight as well.
Please check your PM......

I heard the following on the southern california talk radio. They mention that there are some blogs that speculate on how and what the conference will compromise. I am searching for the blogs they mentioned, i will post the link if i find them or if it is relevant to work related immigration.
"The current compromise being negotiated (or idea being floated) is based on a phased induction of the 'amnesty' program. based on certain verifiable checks and balances on the border and employment verification issues that will satisfy the conservatives. They also mention that it will take 3-4 yeas to set up the infrastructure to handle the increased workload. The undocumented workers will be able to apply by 2009 or so" nothing was mentioned about H1 and EB related issues.

I called all the numbers and talked to congressional staffers. I was lucky that i got to talk to a person and not VM.
Many of them assured me that congressman is supportive of the immigration issues and will probably support the bills. Two of the staffers took my home address.
It is my first time calling congressmen offices and i was surprised to find it fairly easy :)

If you think any fraud is going on or there is a law being misused you must complain to USCIS and Ombudsman. Unless it is reported nobody in a position of power will know about it and nothing will be done to stop it.
Can you please let us know the procedure? I'm very much interested in filing a formal complaint with the CIS and Ombudsman. I'm not against genuine candidates getting their GC through MNC executive category, but would like to stop this malpractice.

easy dude..this poll was just to see how many people in IV from 2002 PD for eb3 India. Its just for that purpose and nothing else. I know EB3 is a dead meat for India..I am with you on that..But dont beat your life for it..relax.
Honestly I don't even see a point for these discussions, polls or predictions for EB3-I. The sooner we accept we are doomed the better. The only way out is to help ourselves but I don't think many EB3's are willing to do that.
I spoke to several in my office with earlier EB3 PD's (who might not even get GC's in the next 5-10 years !) and of course with EAD's and they have literally substituted EAD for a GC. They were once a part of IV (and some similar org's ?!) but now have completely lost hope and don't care. I tried to motivate them to join IV and support but they feel that IV does not cater to EB3's anymore. Sadly they are not even trying to port to EB2. They are just content with a job and EAD.
So, I am not really sure how many of us are actually willing to fight ?!
In fact it's even worse for people like me who are still waiting to file their I-485. Is it going to take us 5,10 or 20 years just to get an EAD ?!

Call 1-800-375-5283, follow the prompt to talk to someone (select the option 'your case is outside the processing time') and tell the person that you want to open a service request (SR) for your case. You should have your receipt in front of you when you call.
Thanks for the info. Can you also tell us how to go through the other steps in your list?

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.
They certainly need to consider joining other groups....
Immigrationforamerica, immigrantlist, etc. Just tie up with a few politicization won't cut it, I think.
Some relief, if they consider wait period is counted towards citizenship eligibility.

Hunger strike ?, i dont know my friend, sounds like a neat idea to get attention, but then what happens if its becomes an indefinite hunger strike, i mean i hope you do understand the consequences of that.
I think we are at a stage where people are fed up with the process, but i hope good things happen to people who wait.
Sabar ka phal meetha hota hai :)
Waiting is all we have been doing for so many years. I have been living separately from my wife for last 3 years. When I reached out to Pappu on IV, he refused to do anything for me. I am ready to come forward and talk to media but nobody is here to listen.
I am seriously considering some media awakening event these days, it might be suicide or whatever it takes but this DOS stupidity has to stop. Its affecting so many people's life. I agree GC is not a right that we can demand from US government but they can't treat us like this after investing so many productive years for this Economy.

Congrats to all who got greened (not the button) in the last couple of days. Based on and responses from few friends looks like TSC is approving cases left right and center.
I made a request to check on my case through local congresswoman and will take about 15 days to see whats going on. I also have a Infopass on thurs (Aug 5th) and hope to get some news (Let them touch my case atleast) then.
Based on my SR response that i got a week back, i am pre adjudicated..

Im still waiting too. e-filed may 23rd. fp done on June 17th.
Expedite request denied, have an infopass appointment on August 14th. I will see what they will say
Getting too worried as my current ead is going to expire on Sep 19th.
Looking at the tracking it looks like TSC has started to work on all these pending cases. Hopefully our petitions get approved soon too
Will keep you posted
I have the very exact EAD expiry date. I think after 75 days you can open a SR and after 90 days we can try for interim EAD.. That's what I'm planning to do. Please keep me updated on your case and infopass appt

This is a good idea. See my answers in red inside your post
Pappu, thanks for the initiative. I will contribute.
No need to thank. Just show up in DC to community your GC problems to lawmakers. That is a big thank you to IV team in itself for all the time, money and energy we are going to spend organizing this event.
You will contribute for yourself. This advoacy day is for you and your own greencard. It is not a charity to IV. IV is you and me and we are only providing another avenue for each one of IV members to come to DC and tell lawmakers about the suffering they undergo during the greencard process.
I also have another suggestion. Why don't we also do a targeted campaign at partnering with corporate HRs to push for EB relief.
Yes we also want that and need your help and everyone on the forum to help us
Many corporate HRs are aware of the EB2 and EB3 retro pains.
Incorrect. How can they be aware of any pain themselves? Has anyone even approached the senior management asking for help. Raely anyone has done that. And whenever someone has done that and help was offered , we have known. The fact is HR of big companies do not know of any pain. Even if they know of any pain, they will not do anything about it unless their OWN employees tell them about it and ask them to help them by supporting IV. This is not happening and that is the problem. IV is you and me and everyone else on this forum. Not just pappu or core team. Each one of us working for big companies need to gather courage and approach the senior management. It is very easy to comment on the forum and provide big ideas and direction, but I have seen that when it comes to walking the talk very very few have the will or interest to carry out their own suggestion. IV was created precisely for this reason. People were lurking on various forums before IV and hiding behind anonymity. They were scared to do anything and could only hope to GOD , lawyers or whoever could help them. Everyone was throwing ideas at each other and not doing anything. The whole community was screwed and nobody was even willing to even go and talk to the media with their real name, go to DC and talk to lawmakers on their own money and vacation time. People would not even open up to their friends and talk to their friends about green card problems and do something together. This community had to stop living a life of tail between the legs and blaming their fate for their own problems. IV is a platform where you no longer have to complain. Each one of us on this forum has now enough awareness, has seen what we all are capable of doing together in advocacy so there is no reason to not approach our employers.
These corps rely on EB2 and EB3 folks for innovation and technology. Corporations have a lot of power in pushing legislation.
If this is true, what is stopping us try this route?
I am just suggesting to try other channels as well. Corporates being just one.
I agree. Let us try.

We will help you. You can lead this effort by providing guidance and information to other members how to carry out this idea. If you work for a large corporation, you can first try it yourself and lead by example. If you work for a small firm, then you can volunteer by collecting interested people on the forums and coordinating this effort.
The fact is, each one of us is capable of carrying out our ideas if we have the will to do it. This will happen only if we are sincere about this effort and really want to do something about our own greencard. If we all think that simply coming to a forum and posting some ideas or arguing with others over spillovers or predictions is all they can do, then we are all wasting our time, energy and money. There are many other sites out there where you can track your applications to waste your time. Or post unlimited ideas for nobody to work on or just argue with other. None of the people benefit from such sites, except the owner of such sites that make lot of money from the internet traffic or publicity of their legal business or any other business services. The longer this community stays in this screwed state the more money these sites will continue to make. This ignorance of the community is sad and laughable to some extent. If you come to IV and give suggestion, better be serious about what you think and we will help you will all you need to lead your idea on this platform.

Please check with your immigration attroney as they know it better but here are few things i heard:
EAD+AP:
after 6 mths of I-485 filing, shifting jobs would be easy with EAD. costly because of yearly renewal but worth based on your situation. i prefer renewing this EAD+AP, even in H1 so that you can shift jobs when you got the oppurtunity because EAD takes 3-4 mths approval time and you can travel using AP like H1 when you dont have H1 stamping. Even if you have H1stamping but if you use EAD/AP while entering US then you are no longer in H1 unless you go out and come back with H1.
Cons: Fees is increased by 60-80% this yr for EAD+AP, so costly. Also if for any reason anyone's I-485 is denied then the period he/she used EAD will be out-of-status so applying I-485 again wont be easy with "out-of-status" but still possible, check with your attroney.
Note: But couple of my friends changed jobs using EAD+AP and got GC without any issue. so it depends case to case and your application and how USCIS process it.
H1:
no need to renew EAD+AP but i feel it is always better to have both H1 & EAD/AP unless you want to save money. H1 gives oppurtunityto reapply I-485 even if denied. I think Job shifting is possible with H1 transfer, but check with attroney. Also you need to do H1 renewal and to travel abroad you need H1 stamping while entering US again.
hope this gives an idea.
Which is better-
A. Working and traveling on h1b (stamping at the consulate needed every year)
OR
B. Working on EAD and traveling on AP (EAD and AP to be renewed every year)
Any insights would be graetly appreciated.

Are they not going to give the same message that you see on the online status page? How different is the case status info going to be from the online status page? I am curious to know ... so that I can call too.
Yes...but after they verbally repeat the same status message as the one online, politely request to be transferred to Level 2. Level 2 typically has a little more info on your case than the customer service agent that picked up your call initially.
