reedandbamboo, sweetjungle, bawa,
Please refrain from using the terms "Indian legal immigrant community" in your communication with OMB. IV represents the skilled legal immigrant community in general and not immigrants from only one country. Doing this defeats our own cause and divides us. As a matter of fact I know several people who belong to EB2 ROW whose PDs are 2005-2006 and they are still waiting.
IV was established to represent legal immigrants from all over the world. Please do not indulge in such divisive campaigns. You have been warned.

I have a problem where my "Given Name" is entered as "<first name> <last name>" in my passport (India). The "Surname" is left blank. I have been in the US for 7 years now and it has never been a problem so far. I usually enter the "<last name>" in the last name column on all documents. I wonder if this will cause problems during the I485 name check stage. Any one here who can throw some light on this issue?
I realize that the question is a little weird, I appreciate any response.
Thanks
Any question reg GC filing is not wierd. None of us are experts, however, as a whole this body is a wealth of information. There will be many who have this / similar problems and will provide answers. My wife also has this issue in the passport. We are not yet at the 485 stage, however, information would help. We can easily change the name via the Indian embassy but in your case that might be late. Hope somebody puts in information.

Dude,
I just saw this post and I would like to understand a bit more about what you read. So, I have two questions for you:
1. What is your EB category?
2. What exactly did the memo say? Now be careful and think hard before you post.
For instance, you may cover the following in your post:
- Who was it addressed to?
- What was the subject?
- Was it about about EB or FB?
- Did it mention any dates?
- Did it mention any country names?
- Was there anything about what the adjudicators are supposed to do?
- Which city/state was this?
Your response will be very helpful.
Thanks.
I see he's logged in and reading this thread, but not respoding to your question. I am just wondering why ?

Hey ppl - Question for anyone who applied for a passport recently in NY embassy. The website states that they need 35mm * 35mm photographs. Are they strict about it or you can use the standard PP size photograph here in the US 50mm * 50 mm?
Appreciate any responses! Thanks

Didn't you read what was said by realizeit in his intital post?
�A journey of a thousand miles begins with a small step.�
All I said was not to mix all the issues into one and sell it. We all know what happened with CIR.
You are mixing stuff here. The question he/she is asking is why should the small step be your step, considering that 2 yr validity or 5 yr validity does not make too much of a difference (except maybe to CIS income and your wallet) . If the focus is going to be on 485 let it be inclusive of everything relevant to that stage.

I heard from a friend who has a brother working in one of the lawyers affiliated with the AILA that USCIS has issued an internal memo to "go slow" on all EB 3 petitions including EB 3 I. That is very confusing to me given that EB3 I is U on the May VB. Has anyone else heard about this? if so can the IV core take measures against this discriminitory move.
Well - at the end of the fiscal year - their goal is to exhaust the quota. They have to exhaust the quota and they figured out that they have old EB2 approvable cases. As long as they exhaust quota it literally means there is demand - there is nothing much we can do - we are just stuck.
I request the entire community to unite and do something for ourselves. Admin fixes in form of preadjudication and recapture in form of legislation. Unless we do something for ourselves, as time passes - things will get more tough for us.

Truly agree with you and thomachan72. Not sure why folks disagree on this case without humane treatment. And that too for such cases when a pregnant woman who will not be running away during her labor pains - why needs to be shackled ?
In fact once my post started I was abused by many and redded too. Gave a green for you here. Again I am not supporting illegal immigration or undocumented stay. Anything which is legally punishable is fine as its law. But there are cases that have to be attended with leniency (at least this case).
its unbelievable what attitude some have on here...many on here are anti-illegal immigration which is understandable...but how can you condone such inhumane treatment...we are not animals...illegals are economic refugees in a way
just cause most of us on here were blessed to come up in decent families who afforded our education...it doesnt give us a right to treat the less fortunate with no dignity...what a shame
always "treat others the way you want to be treated"

Thus, as curent processing times are at August 23, 2007, dwhuser case file is yet to be opened. Since file is not yet opened, no one yet knows his/her PD (it is nowhere other than on paper files). So the case waits - his/her PD may get current and pass.
Why so? Because USCIS prime systems are not designed for huge volumes, or PD's so much in the waiting.
That's exactly what I thought.....huh.....the wait still goes on.....
Coming to the Infopass....I'll have to drive 5 hrs to go to the nearest office and a loss of pay leave for a couple of days. Not sure if it's worth the hastle :)

Advocacy day is going well. There are about 300 meetings being planed between today and tomorrow. Its very hectic in the situation room.
This afternoon USCIS Ombudsman came to meet us in the situation room and spoke with the members. More details and pictures will be posted soon. Stay tuned.
This is one of the most important event conducted. I feel bad that I couldn't attend in person.
Kudos and special thanks to everyone who made this happen.

I am going to take the liberty of putting together an agenda for the conference call, just to make it more productive. I can play scribe for the call.
The call will be for a maximum of 60 mins, unless someone wants to take it longer than that.
1. Quick introductions - State your name - GC application stage. - 10 mins
2. Brainstorming session -- 20 mins
2. Volunteers who want to be part of the smaller sub-group need to come forward. -- 5 mins
This is purely to get thoughts/ideas streamlined. Everybody needs to chip in once the action plans are drafted.
3. Volunteers to exchange contact information. -- 10 mins
4. Miscellaneous -- 15 mins (if needed)
Please add more items if you feel they are necessary.
I will try to scrape all the ideas generated in this thread and will summarize for the call. If anyone wants to post more ideas/comments/suggestions/criticisms, go right ahead and post.

I just want to generate enough internet chatter so that the issue of substitute labor will come on CIS radar. I know for sure that a huge fraud was perpetrated during July 07 fiasco by some unscrupulous consulting companies who sold pre-approvevd labors like frozen pizzas. Just heat and eat.
And I also know for sure that IV has gained enough publicity that CIS folks might be tempted to check it now and then. May be they will take notice of this thread and start investigation of all the subst labors.
I surely am pissed as hell on somebody who came to this country in 2007, and got his/her GC by paying money for some 1999 pre approved labor. I will fight on.

Very good idea. Actually I have sent this suggestion as part of the mail to ombudsman a while back.

'realizeit' has used very good terminology.
Would be great if IV core endorses it.Also looking forward to 'desi3933' comments.
Once IV core endorses it running a funding drive for this action would be a good idea too.
Thank you.

Thunderbold, Sorry for your situation. Here is my observation/suggestion.
Being an immigrant you have broken the law by hiring someone to work illegally. Didn't you and your wife break the law?
You have already witnessed a child abuse and now pondering whether to report this to a law enforcement or not. Again you are breaking the law by not reporting a child abuse. Remember, abetting a crime is also a crime.
This country has given us so much including good wealth and health(except GC) and we enjoy every thing, but in return what we do is to do these kind of illegal activities.
This country let us and our spouse to work, make hell lot of money. I am not saying we are making easy money, but after having two incomes, we run around with coupons and look for cheap things or do things that are cheap. WHY?
What are we going to do with that money man? This is nothing but a greediness.
Anyway, your child has gone thru a nightmare and as a parent/father you MUST report this to a law enforcement office. You can not let this child abuser go scot-free.
Note: When you can hire a nanny that is legal/citizen for $350/week, then why did you hire someone illegal?
Thats absolutely correct.
And we are sending letters to USCIS saying they don't follow AC-21 rules (not law) properly !!!

Senthil has articulated legal basis of current system. However, many members feel agrieved by current situation. My displeasure with current law was based on my perception about principles of natural justice and a dogma that one measure (current provisions) should not negatively impact other's basic rights for happiness, equality, nondiscrimination etc. Courts could take a look at how much damage or injury is possible or actually already resulting (stalled careers, family separation, life on hold, creativity-innovation halted) in current system. Atleast it will open up healthy debate and rational measures to address genuine problems.
Could anybody clarify as to whether counting of family members towards annual quota is mandated by congress or it is an administrative provision.
Bill Clinton did a wonderful fix by signing AC21 which corrected many shortfalls of immigration law.
I am personally not impacted by backlog. However, I am feeling bad enough for the failure of current sysem that overlooks human tragedies. 180-day name check fix is a commendable step by USCIS (brought about by healthy debate and do not look at this as court-imposed). As in the scientific world, peer review and criticism is taken seriously in this country. By law suit, we are trying to create peer review or honest analysis about this impasse. No body wins but the truth and humanity.
If there is any way to open up annual quota (recapture, family members exempt from annual limit or any measure I am not aware of), automatically everybody could benefit. It may be also possible for EB3 to interfile or refile for EB2 and take advantage of old priority date and shorten the wait. There is no magic wand! We could help our administrators, law makers, law protectors and law upholders to make appropriate corrections. Hence, scientific and rational dialogue through fair and just means should be our focus.
Let us highlight our difficulties in a logical way. Go about living normal life but stand up for something you believe in.
Honestly, Ineed to do some research on EB3 situation and see if there is something more meaningful to share with IVians.
