This idea has only one problem, it makes too much sense !
If the motivation behind the immigration system was to benefit the immigrants, things would not be where they are today. Think about it, all these RFE's, NOID's and MTR's are the pieces of paper that generate revenue for the USCIS, the lawyers involved and the whole bureaucratic set up. Now why would a common sense solution like yours be implemented which benefits only the immigrants and stops oodles of money from coming in? The whole idea of giving people EAD's and AP's (ie the defacto rights of a green card) and forcing them to renew these documents for years instead of simply giving the green card is preposterous. The excuse given is that it is the law and changing the law is hard. Changing the law is not hard, changing the political realities of a nation entrenched in xenophobia is what is hard.

A big thank you and a small contribution to IV
contributed 100$.
I thank all new contributors, I think the efforts from members in the last 2 weeks are truly inspiring.
If you haven't done already, please consider contributing and donating some money to IV. It is entirely run from our donations (and the shortfall made up by the core team).
Talk is cheap guys, put your money where your mouth is so we can continue fighting for us all! The battle is won, the war is far from over

IV is an open forum.. where immigrants like me can join and express views.
IV is not paid for by just IV admins.. it is paid for by members and then members should be able to express views.
What is wrong about stopping something that is unlawful and illegal?
IF we are going to suppress free speech.. .. how are we different from a totalitarian regime?
Infact, how are we better than a suppressive and divisive organization like numbersusa?
It may take a masters/phd to be in EB2, but it does not take a masters/phd to understand what i am saying.... or does it?
this is not a free speech issue, please dont trivialize the 1st amendment.
You are allowed to express your views without fear of persecution, but the IV forum is maintained by IV admins and they have the right to delete whatever they want.
Free speech means you can go start your own: oppose-interfile.org and no one will stop you. It does not mean that you can post whatever you want on any forum and people must leave it as-is.

Whether i am a minority and whether i am a majority does not make any difference.
If you want legal speak then ...
Giving GC to STEM graduates is not the right way. If US needs to keep these educated people in US then US needs to make sure these educated people get an H1B without any issues and then they are on the path to GC like everyone else because H1B is a dual intenet visa. Jumping from a F1 visa to a GC visa is not correct as F1 visa is not a immigration intenet visa
If you want plain speak then ...
Why should STEM graduates have it easy when a H1B has to struggle and wait in liner to get a GC.
I would agree to this only is the requirement is made so that only PHD and scientist who have atleats acouple of research papers published be given GC and not every Tom, Dick and harry who completes 4 years engg degree in india from a 2 bit university and whose parents have money and uses this money to pay for 2 years MS.
People who are going to benefit by this will support this. Others oppose.
I believe you belong to latter.
One thing to remember is this provision helps STEM grads irrespective of their EB-class.
legal speak: right now law does exist. F1 to GC would be illegal. This provision is to make the conversion legal
plain speak: look beyond your own situation. Since you are not going to benefit directly, does not mean you stand against it.
Lastly, everybody's parents don't have so much money like you think. People do get 13% student loans in India to fund their studies.

There is a lot of work done in the background and by the state chapters that you may not be aware of. for example when i was a member of a state chapter a volunteer printed 5000 pamplets and we spent a weekend distributing them. One volunteer was actively involved in collecting and mailing out letters for the letter writing campaingn. there are some who visit every temple and talk about IV. These people dont post on the forums or beg for red, blue or green dots, they do the best they can. On the other hand many come to the forums with a 'grand plan' and hope someone else will doe the rest. Most are so self absorbed that they would rather spend time debating how their application is superior and how they should get GCs first. The same people end up volunteering each time while the rest demand answers and ask why bills are not passed. I can also give specific examples of people who posted that they participated in a campaign simply to get green dots. The final straw for me was the EB2 Vs EB3. Each person has his/her threshold, and i am positive that the core will feel the same way some day.
I am sorry to say this Pappu, but honestly I do feel one thing. There are some things that IV can do without spending money(which I think are not being done). For example, it can lead everybody everybody to send letters to USCIS and congressmen and the press for justice highlighting abrupt actions of USCIS. I made so many pamphlets in the thread "Lets get Organized" which can be sent alongwith to make an impact. It is not about eb2 or eb3, it is about accountability and transparency from USCIS. It does not involve any money from anybody excepting a 41 cents stamp on the letter which I think most of people should be ready to spend. However, the push from IV seems to be missing.

My wife got her name changed on the passport last week from the DC embassy. Her original Indian passport had only her first name and her last name was blank. Her US documents (Visa, SSN, Drivers License, etc) had her name as <first_name> FNU (Family Name Unknown). For a passport name change, the Indian Embassy requires you to:
1. Create an Affidivate in India saying that the name needs to be changed from <first_name> <blank> to <first_name> <last_name>.
2. Publish the name change in a national newspaper.
3. Publish the name change in a local US newspaper.
Along with the name change application, you have to submit the original affidivate, the paper clipings of the Indian newspaper and the local US newspaper.
Alternatively, if you have a marriage certificate and the marriage certificate lists your name as <first_name> <last_name> rather than <first_name> <blank> (as on your passport), you do not need the affidivate and a copy of the marriage certificate is sufficient.
The renew/change-passport-by-mail service that the indian embassy provides will take 10-12 business days (excluding Indian public holidays :) ). If you go in person to the consulate/embassy you can get your passport back within 3-5 days.
Atleast as far as I know, the DC embassy doesn't have any same-day service(don't take my word for that, I could be wrong). Good luck !
Thanks for the information, that is really valuable..............

A well framed lawsuit forcing the USCIS to disclose how many I-485 cases are pending (approvable or not) listed by
EB category
applicant's nationality
estimated priority date
USCIS can easily generate that report without spending much effort.
Sure it will not get us the GCs sooner, but it will help us plan our lives much better, it will take lessen the uncertainty.
If we can get a group of US citizens or permanent residents or employers to file this suit it will be great . I think it will work.
It is easier to get information from someone than to get them to do something.

Congrats.
Could you please update your profile with your dates to help others in the IV tracker.
Pappu, hi!
Done.
BTW, what's with these accusations (not by you but by some other "senior members") doubting the veracity of my post?
Does a person have to have n number of posts before he is considered reliable?
Why should I fake my profile? What would I gain by it?
I am just trying to provide some data points for the tracking analysis and sheesh! the brickbats flying make me wonder if I should have posted this in the first place!
Anyways, I will try to answer any and all serious questions.
Best Regards
Fred

Consider a $25 pledge from me towards this effort. Would appreciate it if we are told what information are we asking for? I have seen many questions in different messages. It would be great if we can get a consolidated list of questions/information we will be asking.
TIA.
Thats one of the tasks. There were multiple reasons why I was waiting for IV to show little more interest on this. We need 3 person team to tell us exactly what data and what format we need them and whether USCIS can get us that information with proposed charges.
3 Volunteers required who can decide exactly what data is required, we have rough idea but need final document on this. Amits, would like to lead this?

Here is another story. My spouse has been working for the same firm for 7 years now. After finishing her Cost Accountancy in India, she received MS in Accounting and MBA in systems management from a top B-School in the US. Even then, her case was filed under EB-3, after a two-year wait because her company does not immediately process GC for newcomers. Her case went to the Dallas BEC for LC clearance in 2003. After that we haven�t heard a peep from the Dallas BEC. Her lawyers, one of the top law firms in the county, are not helpful at all. They wouldn�t tell us our case number so that we can check the status ourselves or tell us what they are doing to pursue the case. Apparently, the company has been burnt by employees who have left the day after getting their GC. Hence, the Law firm�s motto is mum and the HR department in the company is not doing very much to assist. Besides assuming that miraculously the LC is approved, the EB-3 for India is so badly retrogressed�well, we feel hopeless. Moreover her company has a bond agreement, if anyone leaves before completing 2 years of full-time service after receiving the GC they have to pay a fine of 10 grand. Her job involves extensive travel, which is really putting a strain on our family. However, we are in no position to change jobs, even within the same firm. I can apply, but then, it is another 6 grand for processing and I will be way back on the line, and the standards for EB-1 is so exacting and the paperwork required is so daunting that it will take months to get all the paperwork and letters together. And, my school is not very enthusiastic about sponsoring people under EB-2. Anyway, what�s the point of filing under EB-2 now?

If the authorities were really clever they should have accepted the 65000 with highest salaries instead of doing something random like a lottery. This in turn would have forced employers to raise wages to have a meaningful shot at getting a visa.
employer can very well get a new LCA with lower wage later and pay less to the employee.
