I may beat you on total wait time. it's 15 yrs since i entered this country (1995).
first labor filed 1999 (11 yrs back), current one started in 2004
Arae mere pyaara bhaai,
I am completing 10 years in GC process in September 22, 2010.:cool:
How about that?
Before the first application gets to process, I left the company and joined another company. The GC which I am waiting for since then was filed by the second company. They filed it on EB3 eventhough I was eligible for EB2 for "easier processing". At that time both EB2 and EB3 were current. And it remained the same way till I got my labor approved the very same month it went into retrogression. Since then I am waiting.
By the way, my first company sold the labor they filed for me for $15K dollars to another guy. He got his GC in 2005 and just 2 months back he became an US Citizen.
That is a long story told short....

I am also a unlucky victim of labor backlogs. The details of my child are given below. It is imperative, for the sake of our children's future and welfare, that all of us join forces to make the lawmakers to amed the CSPA so that it benefits our children. They should not be made to struggle for no fault of theirs.
1. Your Contact Information: (Email at least; First, Last Name and Phone Number ideally)
2. State Where You Live : Virginia
3. Your Employment-Based Category (EB1, EB2, EB3, Other Worker, EB4, EB5): EB3
4. Your Country of Origin (CHINA-mainland born, INDIA, MEXICO, PHILIPPINES or OTHER):India
5. Your Child's Date of Birth: 12/21/1985
6. Your Case Priority Date: 4/4/2003
7. Date Visa was available: Not Yet
8. Date DOL approved your Labor Certification: 1/29/07
9. Date I-140 was sent :3/7/2007
10. Date I-140 was approved: 3/13/2007
11. Anything Else You may Want to Add: (like current status of your case)I-485 pending. RD 6/7/07
I do not know if I am doing something against the rules of this forum, please excuse if I am. I am just a father trying to do something to protect his daughter; but I know that there are many other children who are or were under similar circunstances. I am not a lawyer. My wife, my daughter and I went to talk to our Representative Moran and our Senator Webb, but they are interested in numbers, cases, especially Virginia residents; but I think that this is something national. We (my family, I and anyone who wants to join us) can go to the office of the Leader of the Senate Majority or the House or to the office of any other committe leader and give them a letter showing numbers and cases, real families that are suffering and requiring them to do something about it. If you agree, I would suggest to prepare a small database with all the cases that we know, then prepare a letter and send it to the Congress leaders.
I think that we would need the following information:
1. Your Contact Information: (Email at least; First, Last Name and Phone Number ideally)
2. State Where You Live
3. Your Employment-Based Category (EB1, EB2, EB3, Other Worker, EB4, EB5)

8. Date DOL approved your Labor Certification
9. Date I-140 was sent
10. Date I-140 was approved
11. Anything Else You may Want to Add: (like current status of your case)
Please let me know if that is ok for you, we can use this forum to collect the info or I can provide my email account or phone number, either way is ok for me. Thanks for your understanding.

Well it is worse than you thought.
People who haven't even started their green card process yet can buy a labor from any bodyshop, use it to file their 140 and 485 concurrently and get a foothold in the great american GC mela. Howzaat.
Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.

If they accept all 500k I-485 application. They will have more than 140k cases eligible for approval every year. I don�t see any visas will get wasted.
Visas are getting wasted, because they sit on their "chairs" not working on the cases. Not because there are not many applications.

I got my passport renewed at CGI - Chicago. I mailed the passport docs out express mail on thursday. Reached them on Friday, monday was Columbus day, but to my surprise my passport was delivered exactly one week later. I recieved it on friday of the next week. Total time from start to finish 7 days. No mistakes on the passport either. I was very impressed. Anyway I heard that soon passports are being outsourced to TCS?
I cannot find a forum for CGI-CHI passport renewal so I posted this here. Many a time people only post when something goes wrong, for once everything went right!

Contribute for what. I would , If I am told for what we are contributing. What are the real faces.
I am not one of those who can go advocate at places as I do not have luxury of it. I respect people who are going beyond their daily schedule and advocating, but what are the goals.
I however want to contribute not *donate* if I know what am I going after.
For any advise the standard answer we get is - Consult your immigration lawyer.
I dont want to dampen the interests of others who are ready to contribute. Tell me few reasons and I can contribute a decent amount.
May be we should make this paid. and then I will find my reason and I will pay to join
For your PD and EB category, you are able to enjoy 4 years of AOS benefits just because of IV. You will soon get your GC, only because of IVs continuous fight with CIS.. But hey you won't see it because it all happens behind the scene and someone else is picking your tab...

Go to the Video titled "Watch how senators tacked on 111 amendments to delay the bill's passage" on this page. 111 amendments were added in which immigration is mentioned. Not sure what exactly in immigration though.

I just don't understand why people who suffer so much from the whole waiting would not contribute. If one day, IV core members decide to close this organization and go on with their lives, I would like to know how those people who have not contributed feel.
The economic theory, "inferior purge the good" works here. Without sufficient "good" individual, we will eventually be out of this game! So to those who have not contributed yet, do you want to see the disorganization of IV? Do you want to become a group for which no one would speak up for you? Do you want to wait desperately and endlessly for your GCs? Do you want to continue to work like a slave and feel worried about travelling outside US?... If not, please contribute!!!
Well said, Thanks.

Dear Swamy,
If you can get a group of IV's and IV supporters to walk/run an event in Detroit, I will assist by helping you find an event, and of course each of you can join Team IV. As you round up IV members and non-members to be a part of this, please have them e-mail me at TeamIV@yahoo.com so that I can send them a Team IV Membership form.
Thanks for helping us get the Detroit area involved!!!

As a matter of fact, I didn't notice it when I came here two days ago. I was thinking it was something for running the website in a long term. Only when I saw many people were talking in this thread did I know that there are some urgent and serious things going on.

Honestly I cannot see much wrong with Congressman Pences point of view.
Unless you are an illegal who is looking for a free ride on the US immigration laws, you have got to consider it fair. Especially if it is combined with some sort of expansion of legal immigration, a fair minded individual cannot really quarrel with it.
Only problem is that it will cause those coming after a few years legally to get caught up in a Tsunami of applications and probably will be unfair to them, but ATLEAST they would be aware of what they are up against and will choose to come KNOWING that.
Immigration to the US is not a right and many of us are suffering a lot to play by the rules so our children have a bright future. Our talents are being utilised at less than their full capacity to serve a bigger purpose in this land. We are waiting patiently. Someone who cut in line should not be given rights and priviledges that we have suffered so much to get by doing the right and honorable thing.
According to this new plan the illegals will learn to know that a green card is a LONG PAINSTAKINGLY FRUSTRATING process just like all of us have learnt.
I am happy that despite their breaking the law they have a chance to atone for their mistake and still EVENTUALLY get the green card, perhaps when they are old and grey but eventually. Hey I have sprouted many grey hair in this endeavour myself!
I think this is fair and balanced and just might be able to put this CIR beyond the goalline. God knows the current legal immigration system needs some reform.
