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?
GC is an extension of H1B issued for 10 years and gives freedom to change the employer. Citizenship is different and do not compare GC with Citizenship.

Something funny seems to be going on with the TSC EAD processing dept. I got my second "Card Production Ordered" email today, saying new card has been ordered on July 29. This followed the earlier email 13 days ago, which said the new card was ordered July 17! Did anyone else have similar experience?
Same here after the first one on 11 July ...Looks like USICS is sending me 2 cards with 1 year each :) .........
Any thing can happen with USICS ..

Logiclife, Looks like the statement that USCIS have to accpet the 485 applications all month on July inspite of availability of visa might not be true anymore. See below link
http://www.immigration.com/fromtheagency/usciseb36287.html
I'm really concerned now, as like many I've also shipped my paper work to the attorney, but have NO control on when they are going to file.
Anyway, we have to deal with all this.
That's bad...really really bad. We spend so much time and money on getting documents ready, medical records and all that. In the end, something like this happens and our bad luck continues to grow.

It was merely an expression. I am sure you guys get the point.
Hangin there. 2004 will be cleared soon. If not this month, next month.
While the wait has been frustrating, the general wisdom hasn't been lost! Certainly GC isn't everything.
Anyways, thanks for the encouraging note.

What's so immoral about sending them to their home country without splitting families? We are not putting them in prison/guantanamo. The first amnesty was a big mistake and not justifiable. C'mon 8 billion is a expensive? Illegals cost California 10.5 billion a year in welfare, stamps, education...
There have been a number of publications that have shown that the vast majority of the "illegal" immigrants actually pay SS and Medicare taxes. They also contribute to federal and state tax regardless of the benefit that they receive from it. (Some of these publications have been presented in Congress over the years). What some of the right wing folks (like Lou Dobbs) say is that they are sucking the system dry. That is very debatable. The fact that they can only avail of emergency medical care is the fault of the system here in the US.
"That would reduce the incentive to illegally migrate here."
tough punishments and deportation would discourage every one
Not sure if you are aware that a majority of the farmers especially in the South are willing to hire American workers but have had no success. The only thing that the US DOL have managed to confirm is that there is a shortage of workers. Can some of those be filled by American workers? Sure some but not all. Its just that lots of them don't want to fill those positions for various reasons. An American I met a few days ago was telling me about how he was unemployed for almost 3 years. He is a well educated person and didn't think it made sense for him to find low-skilled labor!
"I am more optimistic for something positive to happen with Republicans at the helm than the Democrats coz to take a positive step, you have to be clear on your position. With an unprecedented majority, the Dems could not accomplish anything with regards to Immigration. All they came up with phony legislations, just to keep the carrot dangling."
Agreed. I still fail to understand how a change in medical insurance can boost the economy or improve unemployment.
The reason there has been this huge push for health care reform is that it becoming a huge drain on the system. About 60% of bankruptcies in the US were due to medical bills. You and I might be lucky that we are healthy and employer paid insurance. Millions don't have that benefit. Also consider that some people couldn't buy insurance because they had hit a "lifetime limit"! So if someone has cancer (which I might tell you is frightfully expensive to treat), and then had a relapse, you could very well hit that lifetime limit. So once you retire, you would have no recourse. Also remember that health care was declared a human right by the United Nations. (see the UNDHR Article 25)
Interestingly this is the number one search result on Google for "Bill for Legal immigration"
Might well make the most of it!
I agree that the immigration system here is a violation of civil rights because we, too, like the "illegals" contribute to a system that we cannot benefit from anytime soon. (Like social security and Medicare). We do need to push legislators to come up with a good immigration policy. Bashing another immigrant because they came here to do something different from you is not going to get us very far. Be compassionate towards those people too. They too contribute positively in a very different way to society here in the US.

You can just take the 5-10 lines from the report which shows wasted visa numbers from the past years and send it to all lawmakers from all states asking for visa number recapture legislation
I think its just one small paragraph the lawmakers have to insert - They can attach it to any major upcoming bill - This does not create additional numbers or change the existing laws in a big way.
it is not that simple..... lawmakers have been told multiple times of the long waits in eb3..... this information in the report by uscis ombudsman is not a new revelation...... this may be new to some in our group but the guys in congress know it all along.....
most in congress want to fix this backlog..... this issue is just stuck between the supporters of cir and those who oppose all immigrants.... we will have to pick a side..... there r only two teams here, anti immigrants or pro CIR and we have to bat for one side...... we do not have the numbers to claim a new team..... if we r not in the team supporting cir then we r against our own green card application..... that is just the way it is.....

I just called them now. I was lucky enough to talk to the operator. She said I should be getting it in a week. I guess they have a back log. She couldn't tell me anything else. BTW my application was received on Sep 11th. Money order was cashed on Sep 23rd. Still in process not shipped yet. I called 713-626-2148 and pressed 1 then 9 and when it asked for voice mail or operator I pressed 0 for operator. I kept pressing 0 until someone answered.

actually you are insane. just because you have contributed money does not make you sane !!
and you should be the first one to ask for action items (since I guess you have really donated 2400 dollars) ..or are you planning to donate 5000 dollars more without asking anything in return ? (yr money ..but as the saying goes ..a fool and his money soon part ways) ..well this is my last post ..bye and good luck !!
A person in mental hospital always think, others are INSANE except he himself.
You said bye and good luck.
Thanks in advance for not visting our forums any more though I know you will create another ID and come back.

I can't tell you how p***d I was when I read someone suggesting ppl to "enjoy the moment". For someone who has been waiting 3-4 years for labor to clear and sees ppl getting in front of the line to get the EAD/AP, its just insane. And to tell that person to be not a "spoilsport" is just rubbing salt in their wounds!
To my friends who are still stuck in PBEC, please have faith. You will hopefully be able to file 485 even after Sept when the dates retrogress again. My gut feeling is that dates will retrogress back to 2004 again. 2005 is when PERM started and that's where the bulk of applicants will come from right now. PERM filers will get the advantage of AC21 that you didn't have for all these years but plight of ppl stuck in BEC's has never been on anyone's agenda. So not much you can do.
In this process everyone gets screwed onetime or other . Everyone knows that dates will move back but the advantage of filing now is the applications enter into preprocessing stage after 10 months or whatever.
People should look at anywhere between 3 to 10 years depending on priority date to get GC.

Its great that someone is actively looking into this, but will the whole 'security' issue backfire if USCIS decides it would rather waste the visa numbers than getting into this kind of mess in the future by processing everything swiftly?
Just a thought
I agree, i am afried that this is going to back fire and would let USCIS waste visa numbers and we all can continue our wait ever after. Nice job

There is no point in educating a mass of angry, frustrated EB3-I folks.
By preference (a LEGAL statute), EB1>EB2>EB3
For spillover (a LEGAL statute), EB1>EB2>EB3
EB1-I get their GCs in about a year.
EB2-I get their GCs in about 6 years.
EB3-I get their GCs in about 8 years.
SO WHAT IS THE BLOODY PROBLEM??? Wait your turn patiently like everyone else, or upgrade your skills and education to apply for EB2 jobs. Stop bitchin' and moanin' and trying to find shortcuts in life. There are none.
Do not write negative for EB3 people. A lot of Eb3 people had master's degree, But their companies are not willing to file EB2 instead of EB3.
