Dates moving forward is a good sign and also based upon USCIS prediction of dates reaching to April 2006 by the end of FY, i don't think dates will retrogress but with these folks you never know.
Anyways, a sideline question is even though they are moving the dates, why don't they let other applicants waiting for their date to be current file 485. Filing 485 could give them flexibility and income for USCIS. Right??

Can you please tell me what is a Green Card.. :)
Now, lets stop all the hate we wer showing and see if somehting good can be done for all.
Glad you asked. Green card means, the ability to award as many greens and reds to anyone on IV. This ability increases as one gets closer to permanent resident status in US.

ClaiGC. Thanks a lot! Wasn't aware of these issues. Yeah, the biggest plus point is -->"EAD allows you to work any type/number of jobs that is the big PLUS though!" I hope this alone outweighs the cons of EAD :-) Freedom from employer slavery. And I assume the renewal can be done by the applicant rather than being dependent on the employer as in H-1.

Yes we are well aware. I would advise other members not to attack other users like PlainSpeak and gk_2000 have
Tony, I tried to send you a friendly private message. I think you must have seen it (though you are acting as if you didnt). Let us stop this score-keeping (who did what first). Let past be past. What PlainSpeak says, whether you like it or not, makes sense (well mostly; I dont understand that . part.. you guys are making me learn something), and is healthy for debate. I recommend you man up and get a bit civil, so we can all at least look good.

I am not indian, I am chinese, and I attended the rally in DC. I am so touched by you brave indian people. while I feel such a shame that we only had much less chinese there. part of the reason is that IV is originally indian club. we got the message but kind of lack the close organization.
Thanks for coming Elle - highly appreciated!
IV is not intended to be an Indian club. You can help change that by encouraging more Chinese and other affected non-Indians to participate actively.
Nevertheless, Indians do seem to be in the majority from those who are severely affected by legal immigration issues and are active. IV's membership demographics reflects that.
If you have any thoughts on how to encourage more folks from your community or other non-Indians to participate please feel free to share here or PM me.
4. we really need to study the illegal immigrant rally last time, how successful they were !!!!
Any thoughts on that? Have you talked to any folks involved with such rallies?

Not really true. If you look at web site, they are now approving cases filed in June 07 even though the processing times bulletin says April 07.
All EB3 who filed their I140/I485 in June and afterwards have to wait till processing date cross at least June. Right now TSC is processing April 2007 cases.

I receive the standard IRS letter regarding stimulus rebate.
I took this letter and went to SSA office to apply for a SSN for my wife.
Point number 3 in ss-5 clearly says .....
"If you check "Legal Alien Not Allowed to Work," you must provide a document from a U.S. Federal, State, or local government agency that explains why you need a Social Security number and that you meet all of the requirements for the U.S. government benefit. NOTE: Not all U.S. State or local benefits are acceptable for non-work SSN purposes. Contact SSA to see if your reason qualifies.
If you check "Other," you must provide a document from the U.S. government agency that explains why you need a Social Security number and that you meet all of the requirements for a Federal benefit except for the number."
I believe that IRS letter should be treated as a sufficient reason for need of SSN. BUT THEY DIDN'T ENTERTAIN ANY OF THE FACTS AND DECLINED TO ACCEPT APPLICATION FOR SSN.
As long as you qualify for the stimulus payment, you can get a non-work SSN. You qualify as long as you are in the income levels specified, were a resident of the US in 2007 (substantial presence), and were in the US legally (have a valid visa). If you did not file a tax return, then you cannot apply for the SSN.
As far as the Social Security Act is concerned, the law states that they MUST give you a SSN if you qualify for any federally funded benefit. The question is: Is the Economic Stimulus Payment a federal funded benefit. The information in my original post makes a very strong case that it is.
Please post your experiences here, even if you are denied. Remember, the folks in the local SSA offices are bureaucrats, not lawyers, or judges, so don't expect much cooperation. However, if they deny you application, simply write them a short letter saying that you disagree and that you are requesting a "reconsideration."

Thirdly you are using IV site for your agenda. Instead of supporting IV you are creating your own selfish agenda and not listening to IV. I have seen lot of offensive messages by you guys. You guys celebrated when all of us got screwed
I do not support your agenda.[/B][/QUOTE]
I DISAGREE WITH THE TERM "SELFISH AGENDA". I have read responses form the core team and I understand BEC issues are beyond the scope of IV's goal. However I think we should let BEC impacted members to mobilize, organize and communicate with each other through this forum. I feel strongly for them because I was stuck in BEC for a very long time too, it is an integral part of Employment based green cards to a majority of applicants. Even if we don't support them by being involved since we are not facing those issues, we must sympathize with people affected with BEC backlogs and give them directions, thoughts and good energy and wish them well..
I know behind the scenes core team is providing support, ideas to BEC impacted resources on how to go about and ideas. I think it is just commonsensical that IV cannot take up every issue and fight for everything. So that is why they are focused more on Retrogression caused by visa unavailability as their primary goal!
Hope we stop showing indifference among members and stop going at each other, its not worth dividing groups!

You don�t deserve a red dot. Thanks for explaining the need for action in a passionate way. I know it does not matter, but gave a green dot anyways.

Do you really think the numbers will be that bad? Look at the improvement in turnout in DC from San Jose? ...
San Jose was a local CA event planned almost spontaneously. DC was an event planned months in advance. People were offered Free ride, Free plane fare, Free food (in Gurdwaras). Yet how many participated?
Do you think Indian’s in CA have a different mindset compared to those in TX or NY/NJ?
I have been refraining from posting on this point, as I wouldn't like to belittle the contributions of the strong team from California and the numbers they brought to the rally.
But let's face it. CA has more EB immigrants than the next three. Look at the recent 2006 Performance report from DoL (available at Mathew Oh website). CA had 21,000+ labor petitions compared to NY - 7,000, NJ - 7,000(?) , TX - 5000. As you can see CA scores more than the next three states put together.
If 40 people participate from NY, it's as good as 120 from Cal. Percentagewise it would be the same. If 40 peope walk in Michigan ( 2000 Labor petitions) statistically it would surpass CA, percentagewise.
It's a known thing that only 5%-10% of the population participates actively in the most successful movements be it American Revolution or struggle for Indian Independence. We haven't reached that critical mass yet ( at the regional level)
If rallies are local and on a weekend then more people will turn out. Not only will there be better turnout, many of these same people will being more passionate about their support to IV and might start showing up in out of state rallies and protests.
There is an enthusiasm right now. But how long before the fatigue sets in? Rallies need to be minimal, held with certain strategic target and should serve some specific purpose.
Weekend rallies attracting bigger crowds is a myth. Be prepared to listen to reasons like - Shucks I have to mow the lawn, take kids to Bharatanatyam dance classes, I have relatives over for lunch etc.
With that logic if we hold rallies over the LONG weekends, we should attract bigger crowd, since people have 2-3 days to relax afterwards. And since people already plan to visit Orlando, LA etc to visit Disneyland, Universal etc., if we can hold rallies there we should attract the highest possible crowd. Do you think my idea will work?
Many of my colleagues did not even know until yesterday when I showed then the news articles that there was a rally like this in DC. Unless we have local chapters with an organized structure which meet regularly/ even if it’s a conference call, you cannot expect mass mobilization…this is Politics works!!
I think the DC rally has caught every ones attention, this is the right time to push the drive for local mobilization, it will be tragic if we lose the momentum now.
I agree with you 100%. Question is - who'll bell the cat? Who will take the lead and sacrifice their time, family life etc. to plan, organize and conduct these?
We need a fearless leader like Aman Kapoor, who can motivate and inspire people to participate, in every state. Where can we find them?

To pbojja, if you think being concerned about fraud desi companies and highlighting issues we can resolve easily (like English classes) is being disrespectful to one's fellow country men/women, then I must not have put forward my point clearly and I apologize for that. I never said that only English speaking skills were required to be a good professional. However, they are important tools for effective communication. Not every desi IT professional in the U.S. is a developer and is in roles which do require good English speaking skills. Anyway, I didn't mean to be disrespectful to anyone.
To sri1309, I never meant to digress from existing items on IV's agenda. All I am saying is that the backlog might get cleaned up a bit if we are able to assist in weeding out fraud cases.

Republicans are generally more amenable to legal immigration fixes than Dems. While not all of the Dems are bad, most of them dont care about legal immigration -- they just want the illegals. If it were not for these Dems, 5882 would have sailed through by now
I am sure NoBama will say CIR. illegals first. etc. etc.
23 (out of 31) of the co-sponsors for HR 5882 are Dems. not to mention the main sponsor is also Dem.
