I hear you, needhelp! I think every single chapter leader has felt this at some point.
I would like to clarify - anything beyond 0 minutes late is rude. I have a management position in my job, and if that happens at a meeting i'd set up professionally, they get a verbal lashing from yours truly.
It is highly disrespectful
Well said Franklin!
Needhelp!
I not only hear you but I have been there too. (I guess most of the volunteers have.)
First of all, people need to realize IV's cause is THEIR cause, nobody at IV is volunteering to gain publilcity. IV is WORKING TO SAVE YOU FROM living on the edge and spending hours tracking bulletins and EAD renewal deadlines and receipt notices!
If you don't realize this, may God help you!
Unless you have some disorder which prevents you from looking beyond 2/3/4 years, you REALLY should be joining hands with IV so that we all are "free" at the end of those 2/3/4 years!
If you just can't spend any time volunteering, then at least don't RSVP for such meetings! You know you would be fired if you did this at work.

A total of 2.5M cases pending (AOS and naturalization), only 1.2M are ready for action.
For true backlog numbers look here, Ombudsman report, Page 14.
http://www.ilw.com/immigdaily/news/2007,0619-ombudsman.pdf
1.3M backlogged cases TOTAL (includes naturalization), out of which more than 800K are retrogresed family-based AOS petitions, and what looks like 30K EB petitions (cannot be approved due to statutory limits). 300K cases in namecheck, maybe 10% of them are EB (EB is about 13% of green cards), so we are having about 60K truly backloged EB cases in March 2007.
We know that cases that are current and not stuck in FBI checks are being approved farily fast, so my gut feeling is they have maybe 50-80K EB cases in active adjudication. Let's double-check -- out of 1.2 million cases ready for action, about a half is naturalization, and from the other half, ~13% would be EB - yep, 80K (EBs are the easiest to approve because there are no interviews or tests, so the percentage is likely less than 13%).
So, in March 2007 there were a total of no more than 140K pending cases in I-485 stage of stocessing. Now in June-August EVERYONE who had an approved LC got to apply, and there were ~300K applications, while CIS gave out ~70K green cards, so we would have a total of 370K pending petitions. This estimate is surprisingly close to 13% of the total 2.5M backlog, so I would consider it good.
Again, I absolutely do not believe there are more than 500K EB1-EB3 cases. There may be another 500K in the 'other worker' category, but this is not what we are talking about here.
We can argue who is right on the numbers for a long time, The Ombudsman, who quote that they can not say for sure what the numbers are, or the kauffman Report who claim 1.1 million. Even if we go with your number of "no more than 500K" - thats a 3 year wait if there are no more country caps.
Also from the Ombudsman:-
"In FY 06, over 10,000 employment-based visas were lost, even though USCIS had an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 pending applications for employment-based green cards." - Pending applications for employment-based green cards means "application approved pending visa number availability" - ie all but approved - waiting for a visa number, not all 485 applications.
"As of May 2007, USCIS reported a staggering 329,160 FBI name check cases pending"
I'm obviously not adding those numbers together, but I really believe that the numbers are larger than we think.
Remember to take out the visa's unsued each year (per the ombudsman, in the last 3 years, thats only 100k wasted) that brings down the number of visas available, and remember there are other visa paths into greencard application, not just H1B.
They also think there are roughly about 170K at BEC... that haven't hit yet. Add that to the number - all with old PD so you better believe their dates will come current sooner.
If you've read the Ombudsman's report, you should have figured out that things are NOT moving quickly
I've just realized, are you looking at just 485 numbers and not everyone in the EB GC queue?
Finally - if you've read the Ombudsman report from the past few years, they will look very similar to this years' one (although they gradually get more and more bleak). Nothing has change to make the situation better, so the expectation that all of a sudden things will get fast now still baffles me.

Logiclife,
IV is a voluntary organisation. You can request people to volunteer, but cannot force them or scold them for not volunteering. This is not professional. They might have their reasons and the right to work their way. I agree with your frustration when people who signed to turn up do not show up. But I feel this is not the way to express it.
Ram
It is not acceptable
For people to say they are coming and do not show up. I understand exceptions can happen, But least they could call-up and let the organizer know. I remember the same in recent Diwali Mela. Some who were supposed to come are still on the way.
This event was not to display the strength by show of hands. These members were expected to be delegated with some action items and follow up items. Either you volunteer or you don't. But volunteering and not showing up indeed speaks volume of the lousy character. Maybe this unprofessional behavior is commented upon strongly, but is it worth anything to sugar coat this behavior. Why can't we call a spade a spade? Just because it hurts? If we start accepting this attitude it only reflects a weakness on our side.
I see no reason why these peoples handle should not be made aware to other members at least at the state chapter level. Now they would know who they could count on. If I am a part of this team I should know who are in my team, who are accountable and who are not.

This is for the ones who think that the discrimination based on EB3 or Eb2 is a bigger issue! I would not get into the discussion on why I think that IV is not just about EB2. Also, on our forums it's about reality and not empathy, which everyone should understand.
Now having said that, please direct your energy towards elimination of country limits rather than fighting a fight which was in your past. Why your company put you in EB3 and not EB2 is not something USCIS or US can control anyways. But when you are EB2 or EB3 with same qualification, experience and expertise compared to someone from say Europe, Australia and many other countries but China, India, Mexico and Philippines than why should that other person get it before you do when you applied before him???? What is America getting anything different from this other person?
Now talking about diversity for country limits India is more diverse than any other country in the world! And hey, most of them are already here in the country and waiting in queue, how is this helping the diversity?
What is use of that? At the year end all remaining numbers will come back to India and China. This year they got 9000 numbers all the numbers went in EB2 group. There is no advantages for EB3I. All you can achieve is pulling down the EB3 ROW by years to achieve may be 2 months advancement for EB3I. Best way is put the stricter norms for EB2 avoid the people misusing the EB2. So that these number will flow to EB3 like how the EB2 is getting numbers from EB1.

Thank you qasleuth. I did not even read the whole thread but this thread needs to be closed and some action needs to be taken against anti-IV elements.
Folks, IV is a platform to come and work on the common goal. It is not a platform to come and abuse it by blaming it just because you do not have a green card till now. Come join us and help out. Be an active volunteer and work on daily basis with us to solve the problem and make IV better. We need more real workers on the ground than strategy advisers, critics and Management consultants.
Enough said. Actions will speak louder than words and you need to get involved to tell us your ideas. If you are interested to actively participate send us an email (info at immigrationvoice.org) with your valid email address with your name, phone number and what you would like to do to help IV. We will welcome your active participation and assign you leadership roles if you want.

We are Canadian and on a visa, our son is an American citizen and we also cannot get the stimulus, not even our son's $300 which is wrong!
People do not care about the immigration problems because most do not know about them or understand them. It is a very unjust system that encourages illegal immigration and discourages allowing educated, upstanding people from coming here.

I have been thinking about whether to attend the rally or not from past few weeks.
Attending the rally would require me to take a day off. Finally today without thinking twice I just went to my manager asked if I can take day off on 9/18 instead compensate the work in the following saturday. It was approved and I am attending the rally on 9/18!
I am feeling so good now.

Hi,
1. I filed for my I-485 in July 2007 with the old fee. This included AP & EAD
2. AP and EAD were renewed in 2008 Sept, with new fee for both of these
3. AP is up for renewal, so is it free for me,or do I need to pay $305 again?
My question arises, since I assumed that the "free renewal" is for anyone who pays the new fee "once" for the EAD/AP.
Anyone who knows about this thing?
Thanks.

I did not mean what you imply. Yes it can happen to any law firm. I was expressing the pain I experienced as per the topic of the first post. I am glad it worked out for you and wish no one ill will.

I heard from my lawyer today that my LC was finally cleared. When I heard the news, on one hand I felt a sigh of relief, but on another hand I was still feeling angry. It took almost 5 years to get the clearance in spite of being a simple straightforward case. I was simply exhausted with the long wait time and there was simply no energy left to celebrate. Though my LC has cleared, I still would like to join the fight against this injustice. If there is any effort on anyone�s part to address this injustice, I would like to support in any way I can.

I guess it's not about service. It's about job professionalism. There is no problem with Air Hostess or employees, but it is management. Let me give snap shot of my exp.
My flight was from Bangalore --> Bombay --> USA
Flight took off at Bangalore 60 mins late. Staff reassured that flight in Bombay will be waiting
Once we reached Bombay they took boarding passes and tore them off. They said your flight already left, you have to go next day. Some passengers noticed that few passengers are still boarded into US flight with flight nbr given in our boarding passes. When everyone made an issue about this they said, it's overbooked so we can not accommodate.
So their statement that flight took off was literal lie which is unprofessional. Also they deliberately delayed Bangalore flight which also they did not manage nicely
Then they said go to Delhi there is a flight. We reached delhi there is no flight. There AI staff said not sure why they sent you here. Only option is next flight starts tomorrow. Next day they listed the flight but again they say it's cancelled due to technical difficulties and part has to come from other country and you can fly only tomorrow.
By that time there were passengers of 2 days waiting. when every one made a big noise, they arranged a flight after 4 hours.
They should have made alternate arrangements before all this mess and 2 days of waiting. Consider people with infants.
I understand unfortunate things happen but deliberate lies due to mismanagement and moving you around just to buy time is completely unprofessional. I did not find this kind of unprofessionalism in other airlines, even though there are other bad experiences with them also.
There will be millions and millions of experience like or worse than this brother so dont worry. Next time while flying make a point to put on your worst attire and treat the trip (flight) as if you are going to a barber shop or meat market. Dont expect courteous behaviour and neither be courteous. In airports havn't you seen people dressing up as if they are going to present at an international seminar and also behaving as if they are meeting with the president?? That needs to change. That is a place full of desperate employees serving a bankrupt industry and so be prepared to experience the fallout of their economic woes. Yes I agree they (airlines) had a good time but it was a long time back. Concord is gone and so are all the goodies that come with flying. Long time back most of us used to get thrilled when the flying date gets near, right?? Now not even a retard looks forward for flying. Flying is the last option and only done when absolutely necessary. Everybody, almost every single person who ever flew had some kind of bad experience so what is the probability that you will also get it......100%

I will contribute 25$ on my behalf. And I suggest that we can take a copy of this letter and send it to Ombudsman, president and hilar clinton telling that USCIS even dont know how many applications with PD per country.
We can also send the copy of this letter to AILA and any other media and try to get an publicity so that ultimately aim should be like the processing times there must be a web page in USCIS where it should display each month what is the no of applications with pd per country. If we dont request this then after an year again we have to pay 5K to get this report.
Third thing is can IV management contribute some money?

Thank you for your recent message to my U.S. Senate office. Each week, several thousand Minnesotans send me their thoughts and suggestions on legislation and important issues facing our nation. This impressive volume is a testament to the Minnesotan traditions of grassroots activism and civic participation that distinguish our state.
In recent months Minnesotans have contacted my office to share their views on the economic recovery bill, health care, education, and numerous other policy issues. I appreciate hearing from each one of you because understanding your views helps me better represent all of my constituents. I closely track the concerns that are expressed in your letters and emails, and will answer them as soon as possible.
My Minnesota staff is also available to handle specific services related to the federal government (such as trouble with passport applications, claims for veterans' benefits, or citizenship matters). If you are ever in Washington, D.C., I invite you to attend my weekly constituent breakfast every Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. ET, when the Senate is in session. You can also ask my staff to arrange a tour of the Capitol. For assistance, please go to my web site Office of Sen. Al Franken (http://franken.senate.gov/) or call my Minnesota office at (651) 221-1016 or Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-5641.
Thanks again for writing and I look forward to continuing our conversation.
Sincerely,

factory man dont talk non-sense!!!!!! what is the goal your trying to achive!!!!! will you get anything????? tell us! if we suceed in preventing the release of 90,000 visa for scheduled A (nurses and PT. do you think they would allocate these visa for H1B... i dont think so factory man.
factory man just always look at both sides of the coin.
HLG is also firmly committed to EB relief for other classes -- such as the reform pushed by the SKIL Bill proponents, AILA, immigrationvoice, and other like minded groups � and is actively lobbying for those reforms as well. Our experience in advocacy is that the worst thing that can happen is that like minded groups pull others down. We've never talked to a Congressional staffer who believes that there is a "zero-sum" of immigrant visas. Our opinion is that we should all work together to help all visa classes, and that no one who wants EB visa reform should lobby against, say, a Schedule A carve-out.
Those commentors in favor of immigration reform should also recognize that a Schedule A carve-out helps ALL EB visa applicants by taking visas out of the general EB3 visa classification. In other words, every EB3 applicant moves that much closer to the end of retrogression.

factory man just always look at both sides of the coin.
HLG is also firmly committed to EB relief for other classes -- such as the reform pushed by the SKIL Bill proponents, AILA, immigrationvoice, and other like minded groups � and is actively lobbying for those reforms as well. Our experience in advocacy is that the worst thing that can happen is that like minded groups pull others down. We've never talked to a Congressional staffer who believes that there is a "zero-sum" of immigrant visas.

USCIS is clearly requesting for two passport size photos with AP application.
It is surprising that most people don't even read basic instructions with the USCIS forms, and go on asking questions and sometimes giving (wrong) suggestions in IV. Yeah, it takes a few minutes to look through the instructions but searching/writing/replying/ doubting/making mistakes/giving red dots/ etc in IV takes more time, I think. :)
I e-file my AP and I got receipt notice immediately after completion of e-file. And I got the direction on the PDF listed bellow. USCIS clearly mentioned DO NOT send Copy of ID, Photos unless they requested. That�s why I didn't send any documents to USCIS.
6) DO NOT mail photos or copies of identification unless requested to do so by USCIS.[/COLOR]

For your first query: Write a letter stating why you would need AP.. You can write something like you would want to visit your family (for marriages, medical emergencies, other reasons and as well to be with family members for vacation etc).. anything you think is a reason can go here..
for the second query: You can send the PP photos along with your supporting documents. It should expedite the process as well as first time AP needs PP photo sent..
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!
What do we have to provide for the following question:
Part 7. Complete only if applying for an Advance Parole.
On a separate piece of paper, please explain how you would qualify for an Advance Parole and what circumstances warrant issuance of Advance Parole. Include copies of any documents you wish considered. (See instructions.)
Also, do we need to send Passport Pictures right away with the application or wait for USCIS letter?
Thanks a lot.
