Please enlighten me - the one who proposed this idea and for those who supported this - Why do you think the concerned authorities or lawmakers would listen to you (us) and agree to making this happen? I believe Green Card gives us all the priviliges of the US citizenship except the voting rights. Besides the voting right, what are the significant differences between the two (Green Card vs. Citizenship) that would make a good case for asking for a faster citizenship program?
Makes sense, like the idea of abolishing the waiting period for GC.... but with all due respect i belive that will never happen esp in a post 911 era where there is a lot of checks. I belive if they put the name check process in a fast track it would be benificial. Suks that we have to wait another 5 years after getting GC to get Citizenship, if anything i would think counting 5 years after 485 is logical.

It was great meeting and working with everyone especiallyJay,Aman,Himanshu,Vandana,Prateek,Nilli, Vandana,Mark,Tamsen,Puneet (yes- I am being nice to you inspite of the lawyer jokes u crack at my expense!!!),Anil,Sanjeev,Rajesh,Macacaa(yes I was a bit too hard on you:)but it was all in good spirit) and ofcourse my friend Meenal. I just want to thank a few volunteers who worked on lobby day meetings with me but could not attend the lobby day or the rally day-Fora,Vasu and Payal. We are all so glad the lobby day meetings and the Rally went well. It really shows what we can do when we all get together. Kudos to IV and its members!

Not able to leave a VM with one of the offices. I will try again on Monday.
Kudos to the CORE team and everybody else who is helping this cause!
P.S. Lately haven't been able to spend much time on/ for IV, but this opportunity is too important to let go!!!
Just called the office of Rep. Hilda Solia, but here I see the poll is already closed. Please add 1 to the "I called all these offices".
BTW the first thing I was asked by this office was "Is this call related to bills HR 5882 and..."
So, GOOD SHOW EVERYBODY:)

In the case you are laid off and are on H1... u can file for foreclosure :-( or bankrupcy.. and walk out of this country.
Yes, that is the basic message.
I am completely opposed to non-GC holders buying a house. Tell me something - tomorrow I get out of status and can't find a job for 6 months and finally decide to leave, you think I am a fool to use up all my savings to disburse loans??? Its unthinkable. 6 months without a job is not far-fetched, I know several folks who were in the this situation. Without an employer my immigration status would be invalid. EAD/H1-B is not GC. Either you are a gc holder or you aren't.
Buying house is optional, paying off the mortgage is NOT.
I would buy if my family had dual incomes, we had our permanent resident status, long term plans to live in the US, income to house ratio was right (1:3 or something reasonable not 1:7 as it was/is with most middle class folks in the Bay area) and so on.
http://patrick.net/housing/crash.htm
This is decision one must very carefully make. Its not like buying a car or doing your groceries.
I refrained from writing "you" instead wrote "one" and "I", I don't want to be misunderstood and beaten up on that:)
Agreed.
In any case, I don't have the same kind of writing skills as Slumdog. It must be evident by now. :)

You made very good points. May I suggest we ask members to call on the phone too if they're busy? This actually worked in delaying the first Bailout in 2009, when they received numerous calls.
Customer service reps do this for hours everyday in some places.
We have had phone and email campaigns in the past. Phone campaigns work the best when a specific bill is being debated and there is the target 2-3 days campaign. The rest of the time, person-to person presentation is the best.

We have reached 40%. To reach 50% we need $6000 more. If more people can contribute, we can reach this in no time.
The core and a lot of serious members have already contributed.
There are 2 mind sets of people on this forum:
1) I have contributed $500+ , I do not need to contribute $20 more, In anycase what is my
$20 going to do?.
2) I have never contributed, but I am ashamed of making my first contribution of only $20.
(Although that is what I am comfortable doing at this time.)
Both the above mindsets are wrong because If we have 7000+ members, out of which say 1000 have already contributed, that leaves us with 6000 members. If 6000 members contribute $1 each, we are at $ 6000 - 50% met.
Now all are not going to do it.
So you see $20 is still a good amount to start.
For the future, we definately need more members. So the add a member campaign is very important.

Please refer to news below
Based on this..
1) USCIS cannot be holding the applications for too long.
2) The receipt number would be faster now and we do not have to worry when huge number of application will go in WHEN they revert their July 2 bulletin.
----------------------------------------------------------
New Direct Filing Instructions for Certain USCIS Forms
Petitioners and applicants are advised that new Direct Filing requirements come into effect July 30, 2007. USCIS says it will not reject cases filed in the prior filing location for 30 days after the new instructions go in to effect, that is, through August 29, 2007. This is true as long as the forms are accompanied by the proper filing fees and otherwise meet the filing requirements.
Note that on and after August 29, 2007, USCIS will reject cases filed in the wrong locations.
Direct filing will be implemented for the following forms: I-129F (Petition for Alien Fianc�(e)); Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document); I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker); I-360 (Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant); I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status); I-765, Application for Employment Authorization); I-907 (Request for Premium Processing).
USCIS says it will issue revised filing instructions shortly. Meanwhile, in order to help the public determine the proper direct filing location, USCIS has developed a series of filing charts and posted them on its web site at www.uscis.org at the forms information page.
The above affected forms filed with the new direct filing locations prior to July 30, 2007 will NOT be rejected.

There is new data available regarding the PERM LC data, like how many PERM has been approved so far, I have tried to copy and and paste, but could not make it work. To sum it up, it is very bad for indian born applicants, while China Mainland is not too bad, since they have far few people in line comaring to Indians.
I can find the link for you guys. It is seems with any policies changes, it will be decades for Indian priority date to be surrent.

Correct. There maybe many such people. And we see it as our failure too. Because as a community we have not raised enough awareness about us. Some people maybe seeing us just a forum and lot more outreach work is needed by our active members. Each one of us should contact our friends and tell them about IV. New members on IV should get answers to their questions as well as information about related advocacy work done by IV politely urging them to help out. Other websites and forums should also help raise awareness about what we do so that the community understand that what we do is for the benefit of the community and it is a community effort.
Thats true dear pappu,
I Never donated anything to IV so far, but now I will do that. I did spread awareness about IV from last several years, and will keep doing so.
IV helps me a lot in providing valuable information plus very big moral support when i got frustrated.
Thank you I IV and Dear Teddy for his great hardwork.
is there anyway we can add some more points in IV agenda if they are already not there,
1. what we can do to reduce Citizenship waiting time for us who are already waiting from many years for GC because of the retrogression.
2. how to make easier for a unmarried Greencard holder to bring their spouses to US rather then waiting for 4 years.
if you dont like any of the above suggestions, just ignore and dont fight.
Thanks

Here are few clarification Nix. Not that I need to explain to you but for all peop here
Pappu Thanks for your support
I will post relevant ideas as we gather momentum
My answers to your post are color coded in GREEN
(1) I found a unique way to cope with the stress of our immigration nightmare.
through Day trading??
Dude Day trading is stressfull if you dont know what you are doing ?
(2) It is not easy and it is not for the weak hearted but the rewards are wholesome and tremendous.
(3) Now lets Play !!!!!
Have you just tried to sell Day trading to IVians??
Relax Nix Probably this post aint for you . Why the hell do I need to sell anything to you. I am sharing what I feel is a great way to channalise negative energies towards something useful.
LMAO. I am sorry but I disagree that Day trading is an investment. Day trading is risky business and one needs plush amounts of cash as SIPC/SEC will not release the money on the same day. Don't even get me started on the margin accounts.
It is risky FOR SURE . It is a s risky as much as Crossing road is risky for the blind
People who can see can cross with ease provided they are not careless and have good judgement
I agree with (2) and would also like to point out that the risks are also substantial. One can get addicted to day trading and I dont need to tell what addiction can do to any one.
Nix people are addicted to VB too wht did they achieve.....Here atleast I am doing something progressive.
It needs time during work hours. ie 9 30 am and 4 30 pm. A lot of people did day trading during the dot com boom and recently with FRE & FNM. We know the results.
Well I am guessing your knowledge of day trading is limited to what Wikipedia has to offer. I work 9.00 5.00 Software engineer (no pun intented) And I make a decent 50-100 on the side .
While you might have taken refuge in day trading for the stress immigration has caused, it can be a serious double whammy/nightmare if the calculations go wrong.
Well Day traders that I have seen sucessful have NEVER EVER suggested to go all in. Play small play consistent
All said, if you feel that there is enough money to be made and normal Joe Bloggs can cope up with the pressure, please share your thoughts in detail.
I wanted to address this post first cause I want the notion that this is for my benefit to be outted. I have been here long and supported IV in all ways possible.

I am not following this thread regularly, but I agree with the basic logic that for EB3-I recapture is the only way out.
The data given by USCIS is just a snap shot of a particular moment like any corporate balance sheet. The figures would change (meaning go up) dynamically (& drastically) as the dates move and more people qualify to file I-485. The figure 230K+ could be much bigger considering those who have approved I-140 but cannot file 485 as the dates are not current.
