We should attend. It matters a lot.. Even uneducated farmers fight for their right. Why should we not show some solidarity and let the nation hear our voice?

While we are brainstorming constructive ideas, I would like to suggest some fund raising ideas. ( I have posted this kind of ideas earlier but no solid response.)
Instead of strictly relying on funding drives IV should consider alternative source of funding.
Here are two most simple ideas
1) Start showing Google ads on IV website. I am happy to see click on ads and generate some fund for IV
2) IV branded credit card, its very simple Chase/BOA will be happy to sponsor IV credit card and pay 2% back monthly to IV if they can sign up 20,000 new customers.
Keep asking for donating fund hits wall everytime, its time to work on alternative ideas.

Bush is going back to the Capitol hill next week to push for immigration reform. He is hell bent on signing a CIR bill no matter what and Kennedy and durbin know that this there best chance to give amnesty to illegals and screew us Legals EB so this bill is going to be introduced and will pass for sure

I agree porting to EB2 will be much faster.
Can we use experience gained with the current employer while porting from EB3 to EB2?

Can't believe the dates came this much.. (Seeing the history from few months)
Last year also it came to 2006 but again retrogressed..
But this time.. i don't know.. i am hopeful..
Fingers crossed..
Well. It certainly is a good news. Atleast for me. :) I would like to caution though that getting current does not necessarily mean getting approved. We have had cases from 2003/2004 PD members where they did not get approved for long time despite their date getting current.

Nola, your intentions are good, but I do not agree with your conclusion. You are biased against yourself and other applicants.
1. who, applicant or cis, is required to make sure gc process is properly followed?
2. also, if someone goes thru' "pain of gc revocation" due to cis error, isn't it ethical (and legally required) to provide "ead/ap" (so person can continue to work and feed his family, be in status), "reinstatement of (again) pending 485" etc. to that person by cis?
3. are these legal & ethical norms only applies to one party or both parties involved in this process?
I understand what you are saying. Both, the applicant (or applicant's attorney) and CIS shold follow the correct procedure. However, there should be no elation to getting a GC when the PD is not current, hence there should be no distress for its "revocation" - which again is a matter of semantics, there is no GC, hence there is no revocation.
I commented on what the applicant and the applicant's attorney should do based on what is ethically and legally appropriate. I did not comment on what USCIS may or may not do to resolve such a situation.
I understand the struggle you metion; I have been in the US since 1994, i lost my priority date of Aug 2002 due to impatience with the backlog center. I started my GC process in 2001! I had a job loss due to Hurricane Katrina. I am married to a US Citizen, but cannot get sponsorship from that marriage due to DOMA. The pity list goes on and on for each and everyone of us. So believe, me, i understand the aspect of "struggle" that each of us has had to endure or is still enduring in order to get a GC.
I don't see how I am biased, especially against myself - that doesn't make sense. I am not an attorney, obviously, but i work very closely with attorneys, well it is essentially my job to work with them and the bottom line in every contractual arranagement or when applying the law, comes down to what are the obligations of the entities involved whether it is a contract or the practical application of the law.

Dear All,
All the infigting and ranting we do, only creates a lot of negative energy and negative vibrations. People will continue to do what is right for them and normally try to be in the right side of the law. There is no point discussing about this.
Let us all be clear that within the next year, despite the spillover, both EB2 and EB3 will get absolutley clogged - I expect EB2 and EB3 nos to become more or less equal and clogged. This situation is not going to benefit anyone.
The only possible thing is to try sincerely for some legislative relief, unitedly. Everyone knows that it is like moving a mountain. I spoke to many friends about IV efforts and tried my best sincerely to raise money for advocacy. It was a futile exercise. I felt so sad to realize that everyone I spoke to, was cynical and said that nothing would work out in our favour. Under such circumstances, it is essential that the very few who are committed to work stay united and sincerely try! For most of us with grown up children, this is the only way! Like it or not!
Why cannot all of us atleast make a small contribution for the advocacy? What is the problem?
Again, as a person who is seriously stuck in this mess with children on the verge of completing high school, I have very little options left. Most of the good colleges are NOT willing to consider "aliens" like us eligible for instate (local) tuition. Did anyone think of this? All of us will have to pay international fees! Who can pay $ 50000 per annum? Under the circumstances, please note that many of us will have to return to India or atleast move our families! I wrote a letter to my Senator about this and I got a response saying that he cannot do anything about it. Please think about all the consequences before wasting time on endless EB2 - EB3 fights!
I also want to repeat what I had said a few months back. No immigration system that is not time bound is fair or transparent. With all the sincerity at my command (I have nothing to gain in the process) I would request youngsters in their early and mid 30s to seriously consider options in other "First World" countries which have time bound immigration programmes for highly qualified immigrants. It is an endless wait here.Do you want to spend the next 10+ staring at the visa bulletin very month? . I do not want my junior countrymen to commit the mistake of sinking in this quagmire. With due respect to all the hard work of gurus like Teddy and others, I still feel that it would take about 12 - 15 years for anyone of us waiting beyond Jan 2007 (though I do not wish for it). What would be the state of the economy then? Any thoughts?
High time we stay focused and use this forum in a positive way!
May the SUPREME POWER bless the Indian EB community!
What is the guarantee that spillover will happen. I agree with your post. we all are stuck in this mess. sometimes i feel that , Coming to USA was a bad decision for me.. now its too late after spending 10+ years here.

Great points. Is it possible for the primary applicant to continue on H1 and the secondary/dependant applicant apply for EAD?
I have the same issue now , my h1b 6 years end in 2007 december , h1 extensions are granted only if the labor is pending for more than a year or dates are not current for 485 ...
So I guess we are better of being on EAD rather than on H1B because of all the bad publicity associated with it now a days and kind of restrictions they are planning to bring on H1B.
Even the dual intent is gonna be removed if the bill passes in its current form. Looks like senate is trying revive that unwanted baby called CIR ....
Even if CIR fails , the chances of enacting 1035 on its are very high So in a nutshell its better to get to the 485 queue and wait so that they will start some preprocessing on 485 applications after year at least.
All of us know that dates will move back and we have to get ready for that ..

Is the efforts of EB3 (I) volunteers being exploited (indirectly, ofcourse)? What are they fighting for?
I don't see how. If the bills pass, then everybody in queue benefits. Simply switching to EB2 is not going to work because it is also retro. The people impacted by retrogression should take the lead in fixing the mess.

I filed my labor twice with Fragomen and got rejected in 2001 and 2002.
Just for H1B visa extension they took more than 9 months. Although they have all my papers for months. Eventually, I had to leave my employer for good.
Stay away from them if you have choice.

Number of Backlogged Requests as of End of Fiscal Year: 67,545
FOIA has its own backlog!
LOL - they will set up a BEC for FOIA requests...
Paying money for something that will give us results is fine (although I strongly feel this information should be free for whoever requests - that is the whole point of FOIA), but paying for something that has no commitment from USCIS to any date's is in my view throwing away money for their pizza parties or whatever else they do over there besides work.

Hey Ram,
What is your priority date?
When did you invoke your AC21?
Did your previous employer invoke your approved 140?

Thank God I did not use my EAD so far.
Dont know what to do? It is so frustrating.
No NOID also , they sent deniel directly as your case.
Please post if you have received any updates.

(Before leaving , I told my friends there ---> I am going for a great future...I am sure my friends are laughing at me now!!!) If I had stayed there I would have become a citizen of UK with the whole of EU open for employment and Visa free travel to the whole world..
I do not want my younger brothers and sisters from India to suffer like me..I have NOTHING to gain in this process!
We have to stay and fight UNITEDLY or go back to India...choice is yourrs and mine !!!!
