I dont think many labors were filed between september 2001 and Dec 2002. Due to bad market and frequent layoffs during that time. My guess is EB3 will get to 2003 soon, may be before end of this year.
Would love to see that happen... waiting with PD of aug 2002 :-(

Thanks for looking into my post.
I have MS + MBA and also have PM experience.
Any suggestion for my original request?
thanks in advance.
if you can get letter from employers/H1B application that you worked as PM then you can apply. Also I think the work has to be within certain years

Airline industry has changed a lot. People still asume that travelling on a plane is something aristrocratic. Not any more. Airline industry has realized that mostly what consumer cares for is "price" and also that most of the travellers are "obligatory travellers" particularly on international flights. So the rules have been written with lots of ambiguity and also since international travel involves multiple countries the legal battle is also not often successful against the airlines. Another thing is that most often people purchase tickets from agents and not directly from the airlines and often there are multiple airline cariers involved in international flights. It is a very complicated issue and it is kept that way so that the consumer has litterally no way to complain.
My advice; Treat airlines just like a cab. Dont expect good treatment from the staff and dont respect them either. Dont behave as if you are in a 5-star hotel once you enter the airport instead feel that you have entered a railway station which is the least predictable. Enjoy the fun if your flight is on time but dont always plan to be on time. Forget eating good food on flights and dont argue if you get bad because that is what it is most of the time "bad". Good behaviour from the flight attendents / customer service...No not at all. I dont expect them to behave properly at all. If one happens to deviate from the norm and behave nicely I just smile back and acknowledge the craziness.
Finally; If you have decided to take a flight to somewhere remember to enjoy all the rest of the trip and be prepared for the worst part of it that begins the moment you step into an airport and get out of the F****** place. People people people when are you all going to get it. airport and flying is no longer luxory. It is just the cheapest thing we are forced to do during our busy lives.

You still have time to arrange your plans and attend! Here�s why you should come:
..................... Rather, I invite you to think this way: Do it because it�s right! Do it for yourself! Think to yourself that you would do this even if you were the only person attending the rally. Think of Gandhi. Think of Martin Luther King.
.................... If you do not attend the rally, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime lost opportunity! LET�S GO! WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!
Jaime , Very good post and very encouraging. It will change at least a few minds.
.............
Lot of people consider it below dignity to do something about GC related stuff, many just want to live they way they are, no ambitions, no motivation to work towards a change.
............- most of these wake up late in morning, go to work, watch TV , lazy in weekends , play cards, chat on phone , always spend a lot of hours on the internet researching for some crappy deals on electronic goods - the time, if well spent is worth more than what they save on buying the item.
...................
Chanduv23 , I know you are a very active member in these forums and feel very strongly about these efforts. I can probably understand your frustration, But I don't think we can embrace/attract people by alienating them.
It is pretty broad generalization to say those who don't/can't attend the rally or those who does not have a positive disposition about the rally are bunch of lazy, TV watching , cards playing , bargain hunting , un-ambitious people.
Let us move with a positive message. :) :) .

Historically, 5 years for end-to-end GC process is not considered as catastrophic delay...
There is a good chance that 2005 PD might get approved in 2010 summer , even with current system unless USCIS looses more visa #s. So IV and all of us have to scream at high pitch and frequently so that no more Visa #s are lost. I think it is happening
2003 this summer , 2004 in 09 and 2005 in 2010 is quite possible.
Now if we all contribute more $$$ to IV we can expedite the above time table.
data indicates some movement in approvals for EB3-I in last 3 weeks. sorry IV , unless sorting issue is fixed, rich data is not of much use . Example: sort by PD's does string sorting instead of date sorting .
Cheer up ...it will happen

Very good news indeed.
In the US politics for some reason, certain issues seem to get clubbed together.
Sometimes it suits our purposes and at other times it is vexing. Clearly our issue of legal immigration does not create the type of backlash from conservative republicans that the issue of illegal immigration does. Hence when our circumstances necessitate that we have to try to board the CIR train to our goals I consider it unfortunate.
On the other hand when it comes to H1b immigration, every H1b increase has corresponded with some sort of provision(mainly recapture) of EB visas also. H1b increase has tremendous support and pressure from the powerful capitalist forces in this country. Just see how the Wall street Journal and Pres.Bush gives publicity to this issue. I doubt pure EB provisions can get that sort of visibility in spite of the tremendous work of organisations like IV.
In that sense the H1b cap being exhausted indirectly gives our issue more visibility and is a good development. Lets wait until the 20K US masters cap is also filled, then publicity will increase even more.
All in all it looks good that something will work for us by the end of this year. The pressure is building on congress to do something about EB immigration.

I am so sorry that IV did not inform you about Donor forum. I will check with IV on why you were not notified earlier. This is clearly unacceptable. IV core should give up their jobs and should start going door to door to inform everyone about IV's goals, strategies and changes to policies.
In the mean time, please go through this:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24315&highlight=donor
Cool! More reds with these comments. Although you guys didn't make these comments openly, I would like to reply to you openly:
Red Comment No. 1: Learn to reply back with a cool head. Real, focused, communication in IV should be a marketing strategy for geting more donors...if that is not there...enjoy !
Neither am I IV's customer service, nor is IV core. All this guy needed to do was to search the forums and read through that thread that I pointed him to, and voila, he would have know what is IV's intention on the donor forum. He probably knew about it but just decided to throw some oil to the fire in this current thread. I agree with your reasoning on giving more focused replies but then that's what I'd keep doing all day because there are tons of folks roaming around here who have nothing better to do but criticize IV!
Red Comment No. 2: why the sarcasm, hes in the same boat as you
How is he in the same boat as me? I am on a boat called IV and I don't see him on that boat. You just wanted to give me a red dot but couldn't think of a solid reason, isn't it?

Hi, I have a question about which service center to use when e-filing for AP renewal. Here is my situation:
- I live in California, but my I-485 has been rotting in Texas Service Center.
- When e-filing, one of the questions on the USCIS website was which service center my I-485 application has been pending at. I answered it as Texas Service Center, and went through with rest of the e-filing process.
- After submitting the form, I got the receipt number that starts with "SRC", which I am assuming ties my application with Texas Service Center. The cover letter of the PDF (which was generated right after submission) even said to mail supporting documentation to TSC.
Now, the problem is, I was reading through the instructions for I-131 filing and the PDF (I-131instr.pdf, which I downloaded from USCIS website) says on Page 7 that I should file my AP renewal with Nebraska Service Center, because I am a California resident.
Given that I already filed my AP renewal with Texas Service Center, am I in trouble here? I don't remember the USCIS website asking me or prompting me to file the renewal application with Nebraska Service Center, so I am a bit baffled by how I ended up in this situation. Is there anything I could do to correct it now? Has anyone run into this situation before?
Thanks!

I am not sure why we are focusing so much on the negatives of Plano meeting. There were so many new members for this meeting. I am not sure why nobody is focusing on this positive outcome.
Yes, there was certainly a positive outcome as well. This meeting certainly established some members (Mostly who attended - Most old , some new) as "dedicated ones". Now coming to your question... I would not say it as "negatives".. rather I would say it as "self correction"... If I have some flaws or my organization has some flaws, it is my duty to recognize it and try to correct it. If these self correction methods applied to very early stage of organization, it would be good for everybody in a long run. No organization can run without accumulative efforts from everybody. Yes, in Dallas we have many dedicated members but when you see some members dedicating time, money, communication and others even not attending the meet forget about contributing efforts then something is definately wrong and you need to accept it and adddress it. I think needhelp and logiclife are doing that here.
One thing everybody need to understand is that we are sitting on a fire and with getting EAD if we do not want to understand that fact than nobody can save us. Collective efforts bring enthusiasm, oneness and societal brotherhood feelings which pushes more to people for standing up for the cause. Now say if we do not address this then what will happen is slowly people dedicating will be disheartening for putting more rigorus efforts which situation definately demands. I request all members to analyze this with calm mind and if you feel truth in this please start sharing all kind of required efforts sincerely and help us create a miracle. Yes it will be miracle to convince congress and senate for bringing solution to our problems.

I called USCIS and she said based on the information she got from his authorities, she said all the 485 application packets will be rejected with a note saying that , please apply after oct 1st if your PD is current.
I also asked her if you dont send us back by oct 1st what sould we do, she said if I dont receive by August mid, then take infopass and go to local uscis office and request for my application back.
I think all the customer service agents are aware of the issue and got informed what to answer for our questions.
That's a relief because I called them a few times recently and found myself having to explain "the issue" to the customer service rep. Ridiculous to have something as major as this happen and they don't properly educate their Customer service department on it.

Just posting here to make sure you guys got the copies I sent you.
Maybe my letter was not considered in the total sent so far and there could be others like me.
Just a thought...
Thanks jackisback, efforts appreciated very much, cheers for posting.

One change I noticed.
Now people can continue in the old system if the I-140 was approved or pending before the first day of the fiscal year subsequent to the the bill being enacted. So if the bill is passed right away, you need to have filed your I-140 before Oct 1 2007.

Hi Pappu
Like me most of us would have got the reply from the Senetor or the congress man for the email that we sent. But all the replies are generic in nature and focus is on illegal immigration issue. The problems of "Legal immigrants" to my knowledge did not get their attention?. This is my observation.

They will definitely accept the copies of the check. The reason I applied my I-140 in May 07 and didn't got any receipt and I intend to file PPS for which I require copy of I-140 but when I talked to the customer service they suggested me this solution and after that I got my check photocopies from my employer
