i don't get it you are saying that members don't have to search...and yet someone has to keep it up on the home page...which is it? yes a sticky thread would have saved work and not required someone to keep it up. Why wasn't it done in the first place. When a service is supposed to be offered every week...it should be offered every week...or else there should be an announcement that is will not be offered this particular week and that it will continue next on said week.
No reason to be frustrated when people are asking simple questions...another idea would be to put the answers to the most frequently asked questions on the FAQ page...which does not work right now....so that you don't have to repeat the answers.
Its an easy solution i think.
Giving a long lecture of frustration is not the best way to attract people to an organisation.
Think about it...do u go buy clothes from a store that voices their frustrations about the prices of raw material...of do u go buy it because they were nice to you...had great customer service...nice selection of goods...and fair prices.I am sorry but working for hours on end alone, voicing frustration at lack of participation, treating members like they are morons for not being able to find supposedly simple things is a really terrible way to attract more people to an organisation. The cause may be noble...but who will wanna join some organisation where people just complain about how miserable things are.
Please pause for a moment and think about what i am saying. This is exactly why you have less participation and less donation. IV needs to transform into a vibrant fun place to be while still upholding the noble cause.
Those stores are making profit by selling you goods/services. IV is a non-profit ogranization and no one is making any profit here. I came to IV through google when I was searching on some immigration issues. I started reading info here and came to know what IV is about and what they are doing. I am not blaming others for not spoon feeding me.

I am seeing several people contacting Congressman and opening service requests. These guys seem to have become current just this month and they do not have any patience. It is crazy in my opinion. As pointed out earlier there is lot of herd mentality on the forums and if one person posts, everyone else does the same. Some people I have seen on the forum call customer service every day to get case status. I urge people to read and try to understand the process than blindly following what others are doing. Secondly as posted earlier, tracking is also useless and a waste of time. It will not help you get your green card any faster. Have some patience and follow the process. Starting a service request as soon as your date gets current, cannot help you.
Exactly! I couldn't agree more. The mentalities of some, baffles. You would think that being in this country for a while some sensibilities would prevail. As for the "predictions' --I get SOME of what's being said, but I do not see anything of substance coming off all that incredible effort. In some ways, it reminds of me the days of old, when picking flower petals decided if someone loved you.

1. You stopped worrying because you got your EAD at least.
2. USCIS is not asking to prove relationship with your great grandparents every time you go for H1B extension
3. You don’t need to worry about the VO at POE or consulate and not postponing your India trip for 3-4 years now.
4. Even though you are on project and pay roll is running, paying the tax...don’t lose your sleep over what memo comes next before the next H1B extension.
Our people are not worrying until it strikes them. Till then they will ask all sorts of questions and have attitude of why should I donate. You can see now and then a thread on IV - Help urgent, I-485 denied, H4- denied.
Why its urgent now for them...?
Totally agree with ya.
Unless crises strikes people and they are shatters they do not care.
Just see the old threads of EAD delays. All these people with EADs were sobbing on those threads pleading to IV to help them. Most did not have a donor status or had contributed a dime. They were on the verge of losing their jobs when IV helped them get their EADs on time. Now where are all those hundreds of people. Are they contributing a dime for the lobby day? I bet after 2 years, they will come again to IV and sob about EADs delays and ask IV to help them.

Unfortunately your friend is correct - the alternate I can think is withdraw your present application and file I-140 and I-485 simultaneously now - other please tell whether this will be a good approach for their benefit. Can EB3 file concurrently I 140 and I 485.
But how to revoke an already submitted I-140 Eb-2?
By the way, many a time such a case would be issued an RFE and then you could change (not aware of the exact terminology for this) it to Eb-3.

Just curious...when did you open the Service request? And after how many days you received the reply below on your case? Was it through email or postal mail?
Thank you.
I opened a Service request for my case and got a reply last night, saying 'you cases is assigned an IO offices. Please allow us 60 days to make a decision ....'
I called the number on your I797 form and rep asked me, if I had any activity on my case in last 60 days. I said No so she opened a SR.

To Answer you.
I do not intend to become a Citizen of USA nor want to be part of IV CORE.
GCPerm, Good answers. I commend you for that.
Otherwise, I sincerely believe even after I get my green card, we should focus on resolving this green card backlog mess and if we can get green card holders and US Citizens to support this cause it woule be better.
Maybe you are not able to relate to what EB3 candidates go through. Yes it is a choice we made to wait in this country. A lot of EB3 people qualify for EB2 based on their qualifications and experience but were put into EB3 due to company's choice or attorney's mistake.
But no person should be made to wait for an answer of whether their application is going to be approved for 8-10 years.
The pre-adjudication in my opinion is a farce as it was more done to get their(USCIS) inventory calculated properly than ensuring the person is clear from all angles. Because, I know of about 5 people who are in EB2 who are sent RFE's now, after their dates have become current. They were supposedly pre-adjudicated as per the IO during the interview at the local office. some of them were fingerprints, some of them just to verify whether the husband and wife are still married etc.
Coming back to my point, there are EB3 applicants now who have a priority date of 2006, 2008 2009 etc. Can we accept a process which asks people to wait for 20 years to get a Yay or Nay for their application is the question. I think it is unacceptable. I believe more green card holders and US Citizens who are deciding to put their roots in USA should help the country to better the legal immigration system first before anything else.
Regarding citizenship as I mentioned before if you think you will not bail out after starting a campaign, then go ahead and lead it.

Starting next week we will make IV chat accessible to everyone so that it helps every genuine member. We had set up rules in the system to keep out anyone who does not take IV effort seriously and wants to create mischief.
The aim of the chat is to help build an IV community. If you have any ideas to improve the chat, please PM me directly. Do not post it as I may sometimes miss the posts. Thanks

- You can add immigrationvoice.org link and a short message to any email with jokes, cartoons etc you forward. Talk about this serious stuff and then say, ... now some humor. This will ensure that the message of Immigrationvoice goes far and wide.
- Make lot of photocopies of IV flyers from the http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=36
volunteer section and keep in your car. Whenever you go to a mall, railway station, store or temple etc and see any South Asian, Asian, etc nationality people (since such nationalities are mostly affected by retrogresssion) hand over a copy each to them. Tell them breifly about IV. This technique has worked very well in spreading the message.
- use the invite a friend email tool. http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_iv_invite_friends&Itemid=55
- Add Immigrationvoice.org link in the signature of your personal email. So every email you write will have this link.

As forewarned by the original poster - it's not for the weak of heart.
Other disclaimers that should be added:
- Be prepared to lose a LARGE chunk of what you "invest"
- It's *really* not an investment in the typical sense of the term - generally equated with the buy-and-hold patterns.
- If indulging in it yourself, be prepared to be *very disciplined* and devote a good chunk of your time. This is *MORE* than a part-time job.
- I would seriously advise anyone considering this to use "play money" (paper trade, simulations, whatever... ) for a while before playing with real money.
- Most advertised "trading systems" that guarantee perfect market timing will inevitably result in you surrendering your hard-earned $$ to the street.
- If the only exposure you have to trading is through the media, or worse - through hollywood - reconsider.
- Once again: the risks are far greater than you can imagine, and may have an appetite for. Nevertheless, the odds are way better than gambling & lottery.
If you're still willing to give it a serious consideration - best of luck!

(1) I found a unique way to cope with the stress of our immigration nightmare.
through Day trading??
(2) It is not easy and it is not for the weak hearted but the rewards are wholesome and tremendous.
(3) Now lets Play !!!!!
Have you just tried to sell Day trading to IVians?? LMAO. I am sorry but I disagree that Day trading is an investment. Day trading is risky business and one needs plush amounts of cash as SIPC/SEC will not release the money on the same day. Don't even get me started on the margin accounts.
I agree with (2) and would also like to point out that the risks are also substantial. One can get addicted to day trading and I dont need to tell what addiction can do to any one. It needs time during work hours. ie 9 30 am and 4 30 pm. A lot of people did day trading during the dot com boom and recently with FRE & FNM. We know the results.
While you might have taken refuge in day trading for the stress immigration has caused, it can be a serious double whammy/nightmare if the calculations go wrong.
All said, if you feel that there is enough money to be made and normal Joe Bloggs can cope up with the pressure, please share your thoughts in detail.

The situation is the same. In my case and of course in most of others too, what he/she said is correct. Waiting for Eb3 to cross 2001 has become a difficult thing. If I started an EB2 app rather than hoping positively, I would have finished my wait for GC.
Ever since retrogression started the dates have not crossed 2001. 245i or not, the backlog is a fact. Sad part, when there is action items from IV, trying to talk to my state members, I have realized and been told that IV does not cater to EB3 anymore. It is disheartening how much ever I try to explain, occasional members look at IV threads like EB2-EB3 predictions and say there is no hope for EB3 and also IV has no answer to it.
I tried my part...too bad I was not able to participate in the IV advocacy day due to family emergency. anyway, let us hope IV's persistence yields us the results. My heart goes for a lot of EB3s who may automatically qualify for EB2 just due to their experience.
Best of luck to all.

Its a classical case of too many people and very few visa#. Every one has a valid point
1) One group says I have oldest PD I am waiting since 8 years so I need to get GC
2) Second says I have a better category (EB1 & EB2) so I need to be given preference
3) Third group says I was qualified for EB2 but company & lawyer pushed me to EB3
4) Fourth group Say I have MS PhD from US so preference is mine
Actually all 4 have valid justification but the # are so few that you pick one point and you hurt other groups. So conclusion is Admin fix will only help one interest group but it is possible. Immi reform will help everyone but is difficult/ impossible

I recently renewed my passport at DC embassy. It was not a great experience. The online application system gave me a date of Nov 27th. I go to consulate on the scheduled time to find that the office is closed. There were many like me who had come from far in cold to submit applications. With no choice we go back on 30th and there is huge line and only one window open. The lady at window was efficient but it was just too much for one person. Took me 3 hrs to get to window after which it was flat 30 sec (since I had payment and everything ready).
They gave me a date of Jan 5th for the passport return. That was almost 5 weeks. Since I was not planning any trips I was OK but there were lots of folks who wanted to make India trip and were forced to opt for tatkal scheme. I guess a way to make money. My friend went to NYC around Nov 15th and got his passport in 3 working days.
There was no apology for wasting our time due to their mistakes in appointment system. Any ways I never expected any so no disappointment. I will post the forum once I get my new passport on how that goes.
