My lawyer put in a SR on Sept 1. On Sept 11 i recd. the email saying that i was approved. My situation was similar to yours. Same company for 8 years, no RFE - infact no updates on my online status since Sept 2007 when it was first updated to reflect the fact that the application was recd at NSC. So i am assuming that SR triggered review of the application but with USCIS who knows.
Hopefully you will get your approval soon if my case is any indicator (admitted the sample size = 1)
Good luck,

The Admin Fixes letter campaign was a good initiative. But, the target date got moved twice, and now I dont even know when the end date is.
Thank you
Thanks Waldenpond, paskal, english_august!
As far as joining a state chapter, you don't need to have face to face meetings at all. We haven't had even ONE meeting in NORCAL in the last few months.
Several state chapter members have collected & mailed to us dozens of letters without meeting us even once.
When there is time to act, you don't have to worry about how far you live etc.
The joint efforts of SoCal & NorCal are an excellent example as well. Gsc999 from NorCal has been to SoCal once in a while to help them with a Diwali Mela or a Letters drive, and SoCal folks drove to San Jose for the rally in July 07, and drona from SoCal helped us organize a Diwali mela event in NorCal in 11/2007.
More recently, rinsuper from SoCal called up hundreds of IV members all over California, then mailed us a bunch of 50 letters she had personally collected!
If there is a will, there is a way. If you insist on having a local chapter, feel free to setup yourself. IV will be too happy to help you do it!
jnrajaan: Thank you for your critical feedback, it is useful.
Just a quick clarification. The time line extension for Admin fix letter campaigned was requested by various state chapter volunteers including myself, abhijit and others. The reason was the traction they were gaining after volunteering on the ground for few weeks. The idea was to leverage that instead of just ending the admin fix letter campaign on a fixed date.
Abhijit: yes, thanks to you and other highly motivated volunteers in California and other states we have been very successful in highlighting our issues to the necessary "powers that be." This is an ongoing effort and not an ad-hoc strategy. We will disclose further steps when necessary.If people want the low-down they need to be involved and go the grass root volunteer work
Fellow IVers hang-on in there. As someone said,"It is darkest before the dawn." The old members go and new members come in that is to be expected.
Let keep our focus on our mission
Cheers!

Where do you get this from? In original proposal it was 45 days to file I-140, after that day labor just dies. Company can request substitution only before labor approval.
Sorry for the confusion.
The proposal was to limit LC's life to 45 days as substantiated by http://www.murthy.com/news/n_endsub.html
I agree I was wrong.

One of the approaches can be for state chapters to be involved and solicit donations from local members. I liked the idea for donations from immigrants who have already obtained green cards and online ADS from google as long as we do not overdo it. I am leaning more towards funding drives. For reasons that people in the process understand better than I do, I agree that the amounts cannot be disclosed. Hence it would be nice to have offline discussions or discussions on PMs on targets between state chapter members.
I for one am not for monthly payments or memberships. That just makes for exclusive organization and we want to be more inclusive.
I also had another important question we need to ask ourselves. Do we want to solicit funding or donations or participation? They are two very different things. Participation is not limited to monetary involvement but can include time and ability (designing banners, websites, writing letters et al.) donation.
Cheers
Every member is welcome to contribute time and/or money. Both are important.
Monthly subscriptions do not make this an exclusive club, they just allow IV to budget and plan future campaigns.
Some of these campaigns will give everyone easy access to the (very exclusive) "AOS applied" club!
The biggest campaign of them all... will give us all a quicker route to the extremely very exclusive Green Card club.
To know why amounts cannot be disclosed please check out logiclife's and aman's videos on youtube!

Juist to prove the original posters point about IV being intolerant about different points of view and the trigger happy attitude of some members about giving a red dots just because someone else speaks his point of view - I got a very personal and abusive remark with a red dot just for my post above. Not that I really care about Red or Green dots. My GC journey is over. This forum helped me a great deal when I was waiting for my GC. Now I am hear to help others with what I know in their GC pursuit and help with any on going action items. Just wish some members here would grow up and learn to live and let live! :)
Thank you Lasantha for bringing up the issue of abusive remarks. We take this matter very seriously and we do our best to disclose the information of the member who leaves abusive remark.

Kindly excuse us as I personally do not know the meaning of abbreviations MRN or pos. But your help in pointing to the abusive remark will be very helpful.

This case should not be very complicated. It is an "accident", you had insurance, you had all other legal documents to operate a vehicle. Why don't you consult a lawyer and ask to counter-sue for 5 million dollars - for emotional distress. An accident is an accident. It was on a public road and you were within speed limit. If someone does not want to get hurt they should sit at home their whole life and pray that the roof does not drop on them.
If you are sure you did not break any laws like DUI - just ask the attorney is you can counter sue.....may be they will drop the $3 million suit

IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THIS ----
IV has to convince the government that this mess was created because close to 100000 visas were WASTED/UnUsed while BEC was busy(or not busy) sorting through the cases. If it is the mistake of a govt department, then the govt should fix it by recapturing these visas. They will act only when you make them look bad or file a suit against them. Why hasn't IV been able to push a simple argument like this????

When you call the law makers and tell them you support XYZ bill.. my question is what do you get out of it!
When the lawmaker realizes that he is getting 10000 calls from LEGAL aliens,
>who are not from his constituency,
>who can�t vote and
>who can�t contribute to his election campaign�
what is the motivation for the law maker to support the bill�
So to avoid sounding stupid and foolish and desperate when you call� a more logical approach would be to :
a) Generate a public petition form on IV website and have all the members� login and sign the forms digitally�
b) Then have IV reps.. fax them and send them to lobby groups �.
c) Lawmakers will listen to one talking head�and not worry abt 1000 calls that borders on ..�saar �support the bill saar�..
How many of you have actually talked to the lawmakers? Its always the assistant!
But instead .. someone says we have a signed petition of 25000 members effected by immigration mess �. And it�s a hi tech workers lobby group ..every lawmaker will talk to you and not the assistant!
Conclusion: calling the lawmakers haphazardly is actually hurting IV cause..to a certain extent!
:cool:
Do what you got to do and let others do what they think is right. I don't think there is one Success mantra here...because we are yet to be successful.
Honestly, I agree with you...but the underlying fact is some people get motivated for calling the senators and some for anonymous fax/email/flowers and some for rallies. There is definitely a subset who does all...but unless you are a Gandhi/MLK/JFK/Mandela....it's hard to drive people in one route.
Just a thought...

Are you working for someone else now and your own company is on the side?
I have wanted to start some business on the side, but thought that was not possible without a GC.
Can you share your experiences on how you did this?
Thanks,
- Another rotter in DBEC..
Here's what i did. I enrolled myself as a part time student into an accredited college to pursue MS degree as soon as i filed my LC for GC in Feb 2002. This is what i thougt when my GC papers were filed.
By the time i complete my MS degree, i would have my GC in hand. But i completed my MS degree in Dec'04 while my LC was still rotting in DBEC.
Finally when LC was approved in Aug'05 and i thought of starting my own company before filing I-140. But i filed my I-140 papers in November 05 and started my company in Jan'06 along with one more partner who has GC.
My I-140 was approved and at the same time our own company completed our first overseas transaction.
Now i am waiting to file my I-485. Now i am thinking of doing PMP.
Note: 3 good things happend in the meantime since feb 2002.
I got married and i have two kids.

I think USCIS must meet the EB convertors somewhere mid-way to maintain fairness.
About gctest, what has pissed me off so consistently is his trash-talk, calling EB3 third grade workers, his utterly self-centered attitude and inability to see other side of the story. Over and above that he is a lying, cheating bastard who changes his story all the time.
angelfire, before you go and make such a determination, please do understand the root cause of the issue.
EB3-I processing is stalled, especially after USCIS opened the floodgates and let everyone inside one time.
Folks who were waiting patiently had their clocks turned backwards and pushed at the end? Classic case of starvation.
Upshot - some with older EB3 PDs have ported their dates, after qualifying for senior positions based on their academic credentials and job experience and getting jobs under EB2.
Which is why see an odd 2002 EB2 PD suddenly appearing from nowhere and getting ahead of you.
How many are actually converting?
humongous EB3 number stuck in 2002-2003.
handful people actually converting due to risks involved.
That EB3 people should not be made to start from scratch all over again, however they should also not be given the advantage of a loophole in the system. We all knew the evil of LC sub and this is something similar to it.
However I do sympathize with the sense of desperation and hopelessness that people in EB3 feel when they don't see a light at the end of the tunnel.
There will always be condescending comments made by people on the other side of the tracks. Heck, I've heard some comments that completely put me off from taking part in IV and helping people who already have EAD (I missed the July 2007 orgy). But it is what it is, we either sink or swim together. If you see how many characters in Indian MNCs take advantage of the EB1 MNC executive category, you will be apalled.
Ignore and focus on what needs to be done would be my advice as everything somebody who is not a decision maker in the path to immigration is inconsequential.

NO point#1 is not true. in fact it is biggest misconception - I remember reading some where that if you have consumed all your 6 years on H1, your extension of H1B beyond 6 years is only based on pending AOS. So in this case, if your 485 is rejected, also your H1B. If you continue to work on H1B even after this, it is illegal.
(This is what I believe & I may be wrong. I am not lawyer, this is not legal advice & check with your attorney first before deciding anything)
Nice. It appears that according to the link below:
http://immigration-information.com/forums/showpost.php?p=18946&postcount=28
The EAD doesn't get invalid when AOS is denied and will be valid till its expiration date.
On the other hand, it appears that there is an advantage to switching to EAD prior to the 6 year H1 expiration to stop the H1 clock. In situation where a AOS is incorrectly denied, a change of status from EAD to H1 for the remainig time can be helpful.
Thoughts?

It wouldn't hurt to verify which 140 is getting picked up. I got paranoid because when I contacted USCIS through service request, POJ and ncsc follow up email in September, I came to know that my application is awaiting visa number when clearly dates for my PD were current since Sept 01. Then I tried calling USCIS repeatedly until I got confirmation that both 140 were indeed in place.
After I initiated these requests, my app moved from "awaiting visa number" to " assigned to supervisor" after October 1st. In fact, on Oct 6th,there was LUD on 485 and on Oct 28th, a Hard LUD on my approved 140.
InfoPass won't help much. Usually they just brush people off saying that wait till your PD is current but IO's on phone give more information.

If my GC gets rejected 3-4 years from now for any reason (however weird or stupid) then I don't think I would go through the whole GC nightmare once again.
Since this is my last GC application, I would rather use whatever benefits I have to the fullest then simply waste them. ;)

I sense " lost mind" just reading about this idea... So that is the start point for you to count what will be lost if this is done.. You or any other can add up other piles on top of that..
