Oh your status said mentioned it as "RESPECTED". May be you are a special case for USCIS. Good for you.
I hope you realize that the only thing you gained is the disrespect of your peers. Enjoy it.
It doesn't matter if I am special to USCIS or not. I got GC by not jumping the line and by being rightly qualified in the EB2 category when most people have resorted to other means such as fraudulent L1A's, unethical porting and substitution.
You may feel disrespected if you are one of those line jumpers!

I respect bitzbytz's view. IMHO, Pappu's post shows too much arrogance in IV.
Btw, I have donated $100 towards advocacy.
Shows arrogance or frustration? Flip side of the same coin!
IV really needs people from KY, KS, TN, UT, AL, CO, AR - please help convince a friend or family from these states. Thanks.

For comment 2: Since you are giving IV address, you can use IV's name and request to check reference of the sheets which contains name,case....etc.
Comment 1: Actually, I dont know if I should use IV address, and the way I wrote at the top on the letter is the right way. And if so what exactly should we use, just the URL?
Comment 2: The sheets/sign-offs are from people with 'Pending Audit' Audit status, it might be a good idea to somehow describe that in the letter or put it at the bottom. I am not sure how do we tell that these people signed the letter. Do you get my point?
For case number, I already asked the same question to Ron and posted the reply. He believes, if there is no case number and there wont be any weightage or immportance.
I agree but I think we should leave it up to the people, whoever wants to provide its up to them.

Pl send your template so that we can write to our senators/reps etc
Well, I think every one should write in their own way, but here are few imp things i feel.
-> sympathy point first ,How long you have been waiting
-> how much +ve impact was from your contribution to this country ( employer )
-> what are you
-> how you can be helped.
here is my cry...i have x'ed to mask some personal matter.
Respected Sir,
I am taking courage to write to you after a long wait of 7-8years legally. I have been working since last 9 years for a Dallas based small company ( xxx Inc) with revenue of around $xxx a year. My skills contributed this company to stay in competition with billion dollar companies ( xxx,xxx,xxx). My wife in similar field is serving xxx ( xxx ), Fort worth.
We are highly skilled professionals from India, and have plans to contribute even more by establishing our own company and generate more income.
Since last 10 years I have been paying my taxes,ssn,medicare without fail.
Mine and my wife's Permanent residency process ( Green Card process ),EB3-India, is stuck since last 7.5years and with current pace it may take another 4years, a total of 11-12 years.
I am not sure about the relief through CIR.
During now thru CIR interim, I request you to instruct USCIS to apply the spill over of unused employment visas in the order of oldest priority date and not by the by category.
Right now, the spill over benefit is helping the applicants who applied 3years after me.
If 1) spill over order would have not changed 2years back and
2) 245(i) applicants would have not clubbed into existing quota,
my life would have been in order, and I would have not bothered you.
Please help,
I love America ( A country of Great People and Land )

Folks, sorry I have not been in much action, with other stuff taking priority, but I would definitely like to know what it takes to do this? I have completely lost fitness due to bad lifestyle, long commutes to work, working spouse, small baby, and other tensions and I like this idea a lot.
Nolaindian - can you briefly explain how this marathon works? Does every city have a marathon to which we register, is it a community? Who sponsers? Do we do it as IV? Do we all form a group. Are the rules set by us? Do we pledge????
I can definitely start off with a short one - until I pick up on fitness :) Tri state members are more than welcome to join me :)
Hi Chanduv23,
I really appreciate your support and interest in Team IV.
The basic concept of Team IV is to raise either $300 or $500 in 1 years time starting when you join Team IV and the year ends on January 18, 2009.
There are two Memberships Types to join Team IV; Individual and Family Membership: The Individual Membership costs $50/yr and Family is $75/yr.
Team IV Members will get a T Shirt, Welcome Package with more details and fundraising tips. The premise of the fundraising is that your friends and relatives will support your goal to walk/run one of the three Team IV events in the year and thus will make donations to Immigration Voice (by check) to help you reach your goal of either $300 or $500.
The Three Team IV events we have chosen are:
1. San Francisco Golden Gate Park 5K on August 17, 2008. A 5K is 3.12 miles and can be walked in 45 mins.
2. The Washington DC Army 10 Miler on October 5 2008
3. The Houston Marathon (26.2 miles), or Half Marathon (13.1 miles) or 5K on Jan 18, 2009.
You can do all events, as Santb1975 and myself will, but you are required to do only 1 of these 3. If you have a family membership, we encourage all family members to participate, however, we require only 1 to complete at least 1 event.
If you absolutely cannot make it to one of the above events, you can still join Team IV and participate at local events in your hometown. I can assist you with finding such events. We will try to include your local event in our schedule the following year.
What would really benefit IV is to show our strenght by numbers; meaning if we have several IV members in IV T Shirts walking/running as a group, we are going to get noticed even more, and this is how we can good press for IV.
The goal is to raise money to support IV's long term lobbying efforts and to support a not for profit org that fights childhood obesity in the US. This is in keeping with our fitness goal, and it is a quality of life issue, not only for IV, or for Team IV members, but for the country we have chosen to make our homes in.
Our goal is to have 150 Members and raise at least $45,000!
I hope you can join us. If you have any questions/concerns, please PM me and we can connect by phone to discuss.
Thanks,
NolaIndian

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.

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.

I definately finish all the events I participate in. This is the first time I am going to be raising funds for a cause I support and this is the first time I registered as a member of a Team for the entire year. I have supported some friends raise funds for the causes they support but never did one myself.
I have never run before............not even a mile. I still cannot and have just started training for the DC 10 miler. So please do not feel shy about running even if this is your first time. We are willing to answer any questions that you might have...........but please signup; set a target and start ASAP. Worst case you will end up walking instead of running.

Since its a PD portability case, probably no PD is written on the receipt. It might be to be determined.
I'm not sure if you can file your 485 as well - dont see a reason why not. But one thing you can do to have better sleep at night :-), is to upgrade your 140 to Premium processing. If you get it done tomorrow, you will have an answer and portability of PD by end of this month. Then you know for sure where you stand.

Finaly received the 1-year renewal EADs today. This time there was no "approval notice sent" email/LUD.
albertpinto and other folks who filed in April/May and still waiting...hang in there, you all should be receiving your cards soon. If you haven't already, try filing an SR by calling NCSC. I am not sure if that's what helped in our case, but it can't hurt your chances. InfoPass was useless in our case...the guy flat out said he cannot help us.
Here's a quick recap of our case:
EAD efiled at TSC May 27th
Receipt and biometrics notices received: June 1st week
Biometrics done: June 19th
First card ordered email: June 28th
InfoPass: July 28th
SR filed through NCSC: July 28th
Second card production ordered email: July 29th
Cards received in mail: Aug 2nd
got the second card production ordered email today. first one was on june 28th. hopefully this time, we'll get the approval notice sent email in the next couple of days...or latest in the next week or so.

Friends,
I am going to efile my application. I think the e-file instruction sheet shows to mail it to TSC. Should I be going mailing it to TSC or to the LockBox?
Thanks
