Also, if what you are saying is correct- then DOS will immediately post a revised September 2008 bulletin to show India/China 'U'. So, that fresh I-485 filers won't be able to file. We have not seen such action on the part of DOS.
For example- Last year when they made July VB Unavailable on July 2, 2007; after adjudicating 25000 applicationsover the Jun. 30- Jul. 01 weekend , they immediately made an announcement on July 02, so no fresh I-485 applicants can file. The rest is history...
You said that you are from the Midwest, but your profile says that you send your application to Texas. How is that possible, All midwest I-485 applications must have gone to Nebraska Service Center.
"I am in Midwest and not all the USCIS/ASC offices treat as bad, as these guys may not have that many applicants coming to the office, like int Northeast or California."

Just out of curiosity, is anybody working on notifying the media in the US?
Thanks
Working on it... we will have the "draft" version by the end of the day. In the meanwhile I would appreciate it if anyone can find out fax numbers where we can fax the press release to.
Email addresses are fine but we need fax numbers too. People take them more seriously.

Did anybody stop to think that maybe Mr. thunderbolt is just pulling a fast one on all of us.
I mean .. it hard to believe that a parent would think twice before reporting a matter like this.
Tell me. Why should someone hire a illegal nanny in the first place? Knowing the consequences, why should they come on this forum and ask for support?
I strongly recommend thunderbolt to post the video on youtube and share it with all of us. He can share the link on sulekha also.
Well - it is his choice if he wants to complain to the police.
I am sure mr thunderbolt will never go to the cops because of his immigration status

Anybody please comment. I have done some hard work here. Do you like the idea ? should we go for it ?
Hi bsbawa10,
You have put some good effort here and I think the posters make a point. But like you said, we need a substantial letter to accompany these.
We might need to take a bit of time to re-organize and pull this effort together. The Oct. VB news has been quite a damper - I came very close to not logging into IV today - I needed some time away from all this to collect my thoughts. It is likely that several people are doing the same.
IV core, in addition to the letters and calls to Congress persons to support HR5882, what else can we do? Several small efforts will likely not cut it for us. We need to pull our efforts together towards one single powerful protest. Any ideas from our advisors?

Do you know why all arguments against F1 to GC are moot? It's because US does NOT view it as misuse. They are talking about not letting the students go, and stapling GC's to certificates. Do you think there will be any result from fighting that sentiment?
This is another rant idea and it is wasting everyone's time. I request all to pls stop bumping this thread on that count

Thunderbolt,
Be prepared !!
Cops will knock your door very soon, because you have opened personal and sensitive issue to public.
IV members are already hungry...!!

UN from what I read he was out of status from Mar 2003 to Apr 2004. Pls correct me if I am wrong
Yes; he was out of status from March 2003. However; he had a valid I-94 card until February 2004. He didn't have a valid I-94 from February 2004 until april 2004.
once;he left and re-entered then the out of status time was finished. Since he didn't overstay his I-94 card by more then 180 days then he is not subject to the 3 year bar.
If his I-94 card expired in March 2003 then he would have had unlawful presence from that date forward and since it was more then one year then he would have been subject to 10 year bar.

I am not the prototypical IV member in that I have only been on the H1-B visa since 6 months after graduating with my masters .. my company hasn't even started the GC process yet. So my interest in legal immigration reform is more from the perspective of someone who will enter the GC pipeline in the near future rather than one currently stuck in the BEC/retro mess.
I began working for my current company (a high-tech start-up) as an intern when I was still a student .. my work on a prototype VoIP solution for cellphones helped the company win a second round of venture funding .. and needless to say, created lots of jobs through company expansion. I am currently very well placed in my company and seem set for a good future with them.
However, seeing the plight of other, more senior talented EB folks here stuck in limbo, i am seriously re-considering my options .. I think its better to switch to a plan B now, rather than invest several years of time and emotional effort in my career here only for me to be stuck in legal and professional limbo. I have already applied for canadian permanent residency, and if the status quo continues, I will have little hesitation in moving there, to a company in my area of expertise. I assure you that several of my classmates are in the same boat as me. If the GC system is not fixed anytime soon, I am fairly sure the retro issue will disappear by itself in few years time .. coz there will be no more applicants left to be enticed by this american mirage.

All people affected by USCIS blocking approvals for current people, lets get organized.
This time USCIS is hiding by not making official announcements.
We need to act as we did last July.
Lets send letters to congressman like zoe lofgren.
NSC is issuing frivolous RFEs as delaying tactics.
I am not seeing similar outrage as we saw last year.
The time to act is now.
