Today I got welcome letter just for me, but status shows "Decision" since May 2nd for both of us.
Welcome letter says that what I got is a courtesy, original notice has been sent to to attorney. Does it mean the cards will be sent to Attorney as well? My attorney is tough to get hold of, never responds calls or emails.
Thanks

There are just too many fond memories to share in one post... but I do want to specially thank leo2606 who drove 70 miles to pick up myself, venkygct, vsraja and punjabi at the Dulles airport and then took us out for breakfast, then to the rally venue, then for lunch, finally to a hotel room we had booked for a quick shower, basically... like a shadow he was with us wherever we wanted to go! And... whenever we thanked him (and gdhiren who co-ordinated pickups/dropoffs for many others like the 4 of us) these guys, instead of saying something like "You are welcome", would profusely thank us for flying in!
Its people... like leo2606 and gdhiren.. and many others are the true strength of IV!

I wrote this keeping in mind to all people who bought houses by Mid 2008 or before
Based on comments I read on previous blog I have written �Pace of mind � do you have?� made me write this post on why Non GC holders buy houses in USA. I want to point out & clarify certain things on why & for what reasons people (Again NON GC Holders) buy houses. Below are some of categories of people who buy houses & here is why. I also pointed out � Why Non GC Holders DONOT want to buy houses� Read through & decide which category you belong to.
Category 1 : Equity
Though I do not have any data to prove my statistics I believe there are few percentage of people who buy houses only to gain Equity. These people do not care about quality of life style. They only want to target good neighborhoods or places which have good market Value & read market trends on house equity for several years. These are most of people who went with Adjustable interest back in housing market boom even though they could not afford. Their intention was only to gain profit from Equity & make some fast money. I sincerely believe most of them haven�t even cared for their Children�s career or interests. Their motto was �Buy a house now gain equity in few years before the adjustable rate ends & move on�. They do not want to think how this is going to affect their children�s life style as they have to move to new neighborhood & make new friends & get adjusted to life. I personally have known several of my friends who fall under this category & I also believe these are some of people who are partially responsible (I am saying partially because I believe Banks are the main culprits & not the individuals) for current economic crisis. A lot can be said about this category but it�s not worth my energy typing.
Categrory 2 : Affordability, Stability, Quality of life
My gut feeling says that atleast 80% or more non GC holders who bought houses fall into this category. These are people who are smart; make wise decisions, Calculate their risks before they buy the house. These are the people who do not just go & buy houses because they want it. They first look at their affordability; they even go to extent of calculating what if one of spouse looses Job & if they can still make payments. They calculate every expense & then they make a move. This is where down payment dilemma comes into picture for most. For some they go to extra mile in putting large chunk of their savings in as down payment, not because they are desperate of buying a house. Because they want to lead a good quality life style. At the same time they like everyone else they cannot predict that market will tumble in near future & that they may loose their down payments. Some choose to take this risk of paying huge chunk because they have other things in their mind. That�s is they are thinking of childrens career, stability in their life, good neighbourhood & also have to come to decision on what place / neighbourhood they want to call home going forward. That�s is one of the reason you see lot of family who has children & who are gonna have children very soon make this decision & also who are sure they are going to be able to find job in same city & not relocate incase of job lost. They also think of backup plans incase of immigration problems. These are people who are already here for several years & then decide that it is time. I believe these catergory people are victims of current market situation & somehow there is a notion out there the people who bought houses ( non GC holders ) are actually culprits of current housing market. I sincerely believe that these category people are not culprits but in fact victims of greedy bankers & some individuals who fall under category1. All these people were doing was trying to live a good quality life style for them & their family.Again I also believe these are the same smart group of people who have waited or on hold of buying a house since Mid2008 & later because of current crisis.
Remember the Quality of life style is the most important factor to be considered here. For some they get a good quality of life style in rented communities & for some in buying a house in good community. It very much depends on individual decision & quality of life style they choose to live & be able to take some calculated risks.
PS: I have seen lot of outrage & anger among the people (Non GC Holders) who bought houses . While I understand the reason behind it & I am really surprised that these category people who were just trying to lead a good life did not come to their defense when lot of people on forums blasting on why people buy houses without a GC?
Category 3 : Stupidity
Not many people but these people have no plans or action plans. They just go & buy because all of their friends are buying. They do not do any research or think about future consequences. They just want to go with flow. Actually the name of category says a lot. Do I need to say more?
Why NON GC holders DONOT want to buy houses ?
Category 1: Undecided & Playing safe
These are people who want to play Safe. Fair enough!! But at the same time I want to say that they should not assume that they are no more intelligent or smarter than people who bought houses. They just want to be playing safe until they make sure that they have some kind of assurances / stability in their life. In this case Green Card. I agree with all the points these categories people make but they have to realize that most the people who bought houses have passed this Category & have come to a decision because they already lost valuable time in their part of life. It�s easy to play safe when you are in 20�s but my question is for how long & at what price? Does any know when & if they will get their actually green cards? There are some who has the time & energy who can play safe but not many people has that quality time in their life to keep playing safe. Most of them are here 8 years or more & still waiting & they are already in Mid 30�s. Yes these people will certainly wait if the govt says that you will get green in so & so year. If you look back if a family who immigrated in 2000 with a 5 year old kid almost killed their children�s career because we still haven�t come to conclusion where to settle. Satyam Employees who lost/loosing a job didn�t need a GC but so many are in the verge of loosing their homes. It�s the market conditions which is leading into these discussions. I have never heard people talking about this topic when the housing market was booming.
Just as people who bought houses respect your decision, you should also respect them on decisions they make because they chose to live a life which might be different than yours but most of them put their family first when they make these decisions & not for any material benefits.
One also has to understand that the people who bought the houses were in this category for a long time before they decided to buy a house.
Category 2: Money Money Money
These people do not want to buy houses not because they cannot afford or they want to play safe. They just don�t want to spend. All they care is Saving, Saving, saving their entire life & keep filling their bank balances. Often strangely both couples are working. These are people who want to live in cheapest rent (even with double income) in single bedroom & they don�t mind children sleeping in their bed room. They don�t mind sending their children to low grade schools. They don�t mind their in-Laws or parents when they visit sleeping in living room on the floor. Their intention to come into this country is only for earning money & because they don�t have high ambitions & all they care is saving & not spending, they just think of saving in all possible ways. They call themselves rich because of bank balances but in my view they are poor than most of homeless guys who live out streets.
Category 3: Unaffordable
They simply cannot afford due to multiple reasons like single Income, financial obligations etc.

2) Remove the country limit
3) Capture the unused Visa
Can you give me some reasons why visas are unused and a percentage.
In other words, why would someone go through all the paperwork and then not get the visa?

"Also the EB queue needs to be considered while moving to the skill based one" - I don't know what you meant by this line but I am in no mood to restart my GC application (for which I have been waiting for the past 9 years) just because some genius (whoever that person was) woke up one morning and decided that all the applications need to be reformed into a points based system.
Of course we are all in the EB queues. I don't want to discuss details of any campaigns in the public forum. You could volunteer for this too and suggest your ideas to 'StarSun' and clear your doubts.

Finally Greened. It's an amazing feeling.
Just checked my MAIL (Saturday) and it had my approval mail as well as Physical Card. Strangely both came in together.
Thanks to IV, I am not a donor but time and again I keeping making one time donations. This forum provides so much knowledge that money support is the most trivial thing that one can do.
Few more notes that might help other folks who are current in May and waiting to be Green
First I have email and mobile alert on for my 485 but got none and the status on my portfolio still says Request for Evidence Response View. Last LUD is still Aug, 2010.
Second I had an RFE in Apr 2009, General RFE asking for work details from my employer.
Got FP just once.
My PD Jun12,2006 NSC
I have not changed my company but my company had been bought and name changed and all this year I have moved and changed roles and profiles. Also I am on EAD though never changed jobs.
I was anxiously waiting but didn't opened any SR or contacted congressmen. I was planning to do that next week.
By the way I am still waiting for my spouse's GC.
I added my spouse on my application in 2008 (last quater when dates touched Aug 1,2006 before retrogressing)
I am going to party this weekend for my GC and next weekend for my spouse's :-) Only advantage of not getting both GC's at same time.
Congratulations to all that got their GC this May & Good Luck to all those who are current in May and will become current next month.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html
Then please send an email to ivcoordinator@gmail.com (starsun) with subject - "I485 filing without current PD - Impacted Member". Include your a) IV username b) Email address c) Phone #, d) State of Residence e) Priority Date - so that grassroot efforts can be coordinated
2) Print out below Flier and circulate at all asian/indian malls/groceries/theaters. Forward the flier to your friends/co-workers and ask them to do the same.
I485 Filing Initiative Flier (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/images/a/a8/Flier_I485_latest2.pdf)
3) Volunteers have created a facebook community and an Immigration Voice WIKI page to spread the message about this initiative. Please circulate these links among your friends/co-workers who will be helped.

Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html
Then please send an email to ivcoordinator@gmail.com (starsun) with subject - "I485 filing without current PD - Impacted Member". Include your a) IV username b) Email address c) Phone #, d) State of Residence e) Priority Date - so that grassroot efforts can be coordinated
2) Print out below Flier and circulate at all asian/indian malls/groceries/theaters. Forward the flier to your friends/co-workers and ask them to do the same.
I485 Filing Initiative Flier (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/images/a/a8/Flier_I485_latest2.pdf)
3) Volunteers have created a facebook community and an Immigration Voice WIKI page to spread the message about this initiative. Please circulate these links among your friends/co-workers who will be helped.

Every time someone comes up with something new they get shot down here by "certain" other members. They try to find reasons to say it was a bad idea rather than saying something constructive. Give this guy a chance.
...and what's the point of this discussion here? The point is not lost on anyone here that such bill(s) are needed and passed. So I am not quite sure what you hope to achieve by this poll - will this lead to any action on your part to write up such a bill or talk to your congressmen/women about the points discussed here? :confused:
I think a lot of people here just like to discuss the hell out of this topic just make themselves feel better! :rolleyes:

What USCIS did to the other worker category in June was clearly a violation of Federal regulation (8 CFR Section 245.1(g)) - however since the numbers were insignificant, the violation went unnoticed.
It goes without saying that AILA will file a federal law suit seeking immediate interim relief, if the USCIS does this again...
The repercussions of such a law suit will be worse for the USCIS and very good for the filers. If the judge grants interim relief, that will mean USCIS cannot close the doors until the law suit is settled...USCIS is probably already aware of this possible repercussion and will most certainly avoid this lawsuit situation...
There are an estimated 250,000 (primary) filers expected to take advantage of the July visa bulletin...a number that is hard to go unnoticed...

I dont think IV will take credit for any behind the scenes efforts unless they become public as to who is doinig it. But the fact that IV responded to member requests for update even before any lawyer, immigration website or even before anti iimmigrants, shows that they are truely working behind the scenes driving our bills. They may not be disclosing it all on the forums since it will affect the effort.
IV should take credit at least for clearing the air when this bogus rumor was making the rounds last night. i knew it looked suspicious. it also shows IV are on top of everything going on.

Anything with the legislative effort aka unused visa recapture will not happen in this political environment.
My only question to the EB3I is,
Do you want to wait until the visa recapture, when ever it happens or will it ever?. More-over this has been taken up by many people in this forum and fizzled. To add more, do you know what will happen when un-used visas are recaptured ? Will it benefit EB3I or will it be given to EB2 just like the spill over. Would you do something right now to atleast get some short term relief to EB3I ?
I am here in this thread to understand what we can do for EB3I immediately. I presented an option when somebody asked in this thread. If you want to take it or leave it, its up to you to decide.
