Even one year after July 07 bulletin, the State Department is saying that USCIS is not estimating accurately. Where is the question of estimates, they should look at ACTUAL data.
And where is IV management? Yes, people should work with their state chapters.....but now is the time for the core IV group to wake up and take up the fight with the higher ups in the goverment. Show them how the State Department + USCIS is treating immigrants because of their lethargy and laziness.
I think state department has made a mistake by writing that USCIS can not estimate (in the latest bulletin) and we should take full advantage of it. Complain-Complain-Complain, make them look bad, and in this election year they may act on it...........
Please stop taking out the frustrations on IV. It is very easy to do. All you need to do is write a post. But doing some real action is the challenge.
We are all like you and in this together. We try to create action items and guide and try to lobby within our limited time, energy and means. Everything else is dependent on members. If members contribute funds we lobby hard. If members are not even willing to contribute $5, and we can only get less than 5K in more than 2 months, how can we accuse core? If members write letters to administration or USCIS, call lawmakers, meet lawmakers etc that directly helps everyone. Members need to involve their big employers and have them contact administration and local lawmakers. We all need to contact media and raise awareness. We all need to create publicity of this effort so that more people can join it and make it successful. We will help you all the way in this effort. Come and travel to DC with all your state chapter members and meet officials. Try taking part in conference calls, answer emails and calls from all kinds of members and non-members, media outreach and mundane official work of IV yourself during office hours and you will see how difficult it is to manage this for IV team.Take days off from your work spend your own money on travel and hotel and visit offices and talk to lawmakers in DC. We will help you with the meetings. IV core has been doing that and we get such brickbats through such posts.
Just accusing IV, writing posts about ideas or action, and asking IV to wake up will not solve anything. This is a community effort and each IV member is responsible for the failure or success. IV leaders already devote lot of time from their professional and personal life on this effort. Individual members need to step up if they want more and take it upon themselves to get active.

If you want the leadership of IV, go for it instead of complaining about it. Invest the time and effort, and I will follow your lead if it makes sense and do my part.

Sorry that I had to wait this long to contribute. Been tight with my debt and payments and also secretly monitoring this board and praying for your success. My first contribution of $20 was sent via paypal.
I personally feel that not a lot of people out there know about paypal or are just too scared to transact online.
It would be awesome if a portion of the money could be used to start a mailing campaign via snail mail by including a contribution plea letter along with a form that can be filled and mailed with a cheque to IV. Just like those credit card offers. Obviously to all the registered members.
Also, psychologically, when you navigate to the contribution page, the list of contribution amount options starts with $100. And then all the way to the right is the "other" option. It takes time for the eye to get to the "other" amount option as a result of which an anonymous/interested user navigating to the page sees contribution amounts in multiples of $100 thereby creating doubt/hesitation without realizing that you can choose the "other" option to contribute in smaller numbers. It would be great if you could put in a blank text field first and then the other options with multiples of $100.
Just my 0.02 cents.
Keep pushing and for all you guys watching in the sidelines watch "Gandhi" - the movie, for inspiration. Seriously!
Even if you don't contribute, walk up to Blockbuster or go online on Netflix and rent the movie out.
IV is doing a tremoundus job. I have been watching and waiting silently until I saw the movie "Gandhi".
I know many of you single non-immigrants living alone don't have to shop around for Christmas. I know I don't because my family doesn't live here. So maybe you can gift IV with a small contribution.
Maybe you can skip a carwash this month (for all those living in the south, i.e.) and do it yourself and send in the money to IV. Small drops of water make an ocean. So don't think your contribution, however small it may be, is not going to help.
If you really don't have the money to contribute, atleast buy a $1 greeting card and a $0.39 stamp and send it to IV thanking them for fighting on your behalf. Its that simple.
Good luck and god bless.

I see that the above discussion keeps on going on about EB-2 only. Doesn't anyone at IV care about EB-3 I also . I am sure there are a few EB-3 I people at IV who are suffering from retrogression , myself included.

I disagree, On IV homepage and website there are so many links of appeals. Just issing another appeal will not make a difference. I do not think a lot of us really need a greencard. A lot of my friends these days tell me not to worry about greencard after having EAD.
IV is our only hope. If you want you can contact AILA or your lawyer for help and see if they can help you. I bet a lot of us cannot even have the courage to blame our lawyers who take our money and give poor service. Just because IV core is like us and we can write anything, we feel free to blame them.
I disagree with the OP and feel that the fault is in the community. We do not really want greencards that bad.
The appeals are only for recapture of visa. They are not about USCIS's random acts and unethical practices. They are not about what USCIS has been doing for the past two months. What use is recapture if it is not issuing GC's or doing that randomly or not doing that at all . Think about it:
1. One can have his PD current for 2 years and not get his GC. Meanwhile, he can loose his job and not get a similar one. All his steps go into drain forever.
2. He cannot do any other thing like open up a business.
3. He cannot get a house for the fear of being rejected.
4. He cannot even do his present job confidently. For example, I have somebody trying to abuse my situation in my office and I cannot give him a hard reply simply because my status is hanging in there.
And yes, we do need GC's but the first step is not getting GC. The first step is to make USCIS accountable, ethical, efficient, honest and transparent.(All these things are missing in USCIS) How come a person with PD 2003 is waiting and the one with PD 2006 get his GC ? IV should raise questions on this. (Not all method involve money..I have given an example of writing letters and sending pamphlets)
1. Is the practice of USCIS ethical ?
2. Is it acceptable ?
3. Would such actions if done to US citizens be acceptable ?
I think there is no action towards this at all.

If the number is 500+ it will def. make an impact...
Lot of people are sending the flowers or just Get well soon greeting cards based on the email chain thats circulated.
They have either not heard of IV or don't care about it and read it
So don't worry, the number is + 100 to whatever u see here

The above part of your submission is not true. If you read the I-485 Adjudicator's Manual, you will find that the file is already opened and input into the system at this stage. Otherwise dwhuser would not have received I-797 Notice of Action.
In theory action on a case should be sequenced by priority date and then received date within the priority date batch. However, nobody knows for sure how USCIS works each case.
fromjaija, When data is entered, and the notice is generated, only limited information is entered in the system. PD is not one of them. When I said "file is not opened", I meant that no one has yet reviewed the file. Note that for most cases PD is not a controlling factor. It is only the unfortunate ones from retrogressed countries that they have to wait for PD to be current. For everyone else, once file is reviewed, if all documentation is in order, case is cleared. Once a file is reviewed, if it has to wait for PD to be current, it is placed in sequence of PD. See USCIS SOP on the link below, which even tells what color of paper clip to use, etc. (though it is a bit out of date).

Sure will post my experience.
Hi ruchigup: Could you please update on how your infopass appt went on moday. My attorney said that we could take infopass even now, they(IOs) might keep our case in the queue ready for review for GC in September. But, not quite sure if they (IOs) would really do something abt it in August.

kpchal2,
Your case may be preadjudicated.....(if at all that is actually true)....yet it does not stop USCIS from sending an RFE for anything especially it has been over a few months since they last saw ur case....and once an RFE is issued you again go back in the list and the wait continues to next year when the window again opens for a short time.
It is absolutely nonsense that preadjudicated cases are in a pile waiting for visa number...this is from my attorney....USCIS can issue n number of RFEs.....and each time it is issued it furthers the chance of green....
SoP
How do you know if your case is pre-adjudicated or not. Could we call USCIS and ask the representative about this?
PD - July 2004 - EB2
I-485 RD - August 17, 2007 - TSC
I-485 ND - Oct 16, 2007
Is there a chance that mine pre-adjudicated? I attended the interview on Jun 25, 2009. The DAO asked me for various docs and I provided all those. Is there a chance of getting RFE still?

Well, I just successfully contributed my 2nd $100 to IV. There is just no way we are going to give up this time. It is not going to come easy, especially not without the relatively small financial sacrifice. But the return --Immeasurable peace of mind and relief. Lets wish ourselves good luck & keep each other motivated.

Good job folks, there's still 2 hours in ET and 5 hours in PT for the day to end and I'm hopeful of reaching the magic number of 46 members contributing by end of tonight, if you are on the border and unsure about contributing...please read on...otherwise click on the "contribute now" button ..
I attended the "conference in Boston" earlier this month to which three core members had flown in and had the first hand opportunity to discuss with them. The dedication and resolve they showed approaching key people in lawmakers office was just so inspirational. Specifically, the way Aman was talking to individual IV members without taking anything for granted. None of it was for individual cause but for the entire team which means "you". So the best we could do is help the group financially and provide the means to approach for more stronger lobbying efforts. Let's be real, at the end of the day, money talks in the senate ! and we all can contribute little by little and provide the backbone for us and incoming generations..so let's do it folks, please step up...all required is $20 per member...
OK, I'll shut up now...

Not sure about the news, but based on my and our experiences with uscis,I have to say these two IO are EXCEPTIONALLY friendly. You can casually walk up to an IO after taking fingerprint? I thought you would be arrested if you go to any uscis office after taking the finger print. You will receive call from IO to give missing material? I suppose there is something called "RFE", and they are never afraid to use RFE, even for most minor and unnecessary reasons. Gee, if only half of the IO are good as this, there will not be any immigration problem anymore.

I dont think so, my friend gave me this information - i am not sure its reliable or not;
One of my friend received a call from IO Adjucating officer yesterday
and it seems adjucating officer asked him to hurry up to send his wife's medicals because
there were only 14K more visa numbers left as he did not include his wife's medicals (she was pregnant when they were filing I-485).
He received his approval notice but not his wife's due to the missing medicals
so relax guys - there could be atleast 13k visa numbers left.
