Alright guys, I cannot tell you how excited I am to report that i got a call this morning from my attorney and my online case status also states that Card Production was ordered for my case!!!
After 8 long years.....i finally have been approved for permanent residency. After 7 years, i will finally, with peace of mind, go back to India to visit my family. Thanks to IV, everyone's help on these forums for helping me keep my sanity over the past 2 years....
After 15 years in the US, I will finally have my green card in hand soon.

You were in US since 1994. Why did it take so long. In the 90s EB wasnt that bad.

don't join IV just to declare your GC.
u leeched here and never contributed and now joining to tell everyone that u have GC now. Get lost.
I would not like to use such words like Leech without knowing the history of a member. It is derogatory.
I am happy that the person joined IV and maybe contributed to it. It is partly our fault that we all did not reach out to such people and convince them enough how they can be a part of the effort. Such members with few posts may be still thinking of IV just as forum for posting their case questions. They may think of IV just like any other tracker site or forum. If it is true then it is also a fault of each one of us because we have not raised the awareness enough. It does not really matter if they post 100 times or 1 time. There are some donors who have less than 10 posts but they have been silent supporters of IV as donors for a long time. Some such people have visited local lawmakers regularly and given feedback of their meetings to IV. Some volunteer their time to IV on regular basis. So its all not about money. They just do not have time to regularly visit IV. But they support the effort one way or another in behind the scenes work or contributing to it.
What I do not like are people who do not care about what we do even though they know about IV. Such people maybe having 1000 posts or no posts. They only contact IV when their own case is having problems. Whether it is EAD delays or I485 denial etc. They could be talking against IV all this time and then suddenly expect IV to devote its time and resources to help them. It is the quality of the community that defines who we are and when we come across such people it is shameful. Last year there was a very active member for several years (never contributed a penny but had 100s of posts) who became current. He used to post on approval thread like this one seeing who gets approval. When his anxiety level reached high, he sent me a PM saying he will contribute $25 to IV if IV can help as his case is current and USCIS is not taking action. Such are the incidents we come across and we really wonder if these are the highly educated folks we are fighting for. As I have said, the reason why this backlog still exists is because Immigrants stuck in the backlog are ok with it and do not care about removing it. There is no point blaming the system, if people in the system do not complain against it.

You have a nice attorney
Here is what my attorney has sent regarding the AILA release, i dont know whether to believe him or other attorneys, i think i have no choice but to go with what my attorney says.He has been really good in these kinds ofnotices for the past 3 plus years, hope he is correct even with this.
1)There is no way that USCIS would get away with shutting down filing of EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 Adjustment filings without a massive class action lawsuit against the agency;
2)The power to determine the availability or non-availability of permanent residence visa numbers rests solely with the Department of State. USCIS rejected the �Other Worker� Adjustments based upon a notice from the Department of State that there were no longer any visa numbers for the category. I recently attended our annual AILA immigration conference and there were members in attendance who had interviewed the Department of State official who sets the priority dates. The understanding was unequivocal that the Department of State office felt the numbers would remain available throughout July, and perhaps, as late as September;
3)At this time, there are 40,000 immigrant visa numbers available for the rest of the fiscal year. This means that in order for the Department of State to issue any kind of notice to USCIS, 40,000 permanent residence petitions would have to be APPROVED prior to the end of July. I am highlighting the word approved, because I need for all of my clients to understand that between June and July, there will a lot more than 40,000 Adjustments filed. However, what determines an immigrant visa number usage is the approval of a permanent residence.
Now let�s go back to simple math: there are 140,000 immigrant visas available per fiscal year. 40,000 visa numbers are available at this time. The fiscal year runs from October 1st through September 30th. That means that in the first 9 months of the fiscal year, the Department of State and USCIS have managed to approve 100,000, which turns out to be 11,111 petitions per month. There is no possible way that USCIS and the Department of State are going to approve almost 4 times the number of permanent residencies in the month of July. The agencies do not have the time, nor do they have the manpower to approve 40,000 petitions within the next 30 days or so. That is the very reason why the Department of State official solely responsible for the priority dates felt pretty good about the availability of visa numbers throughout the month of July when he spoke to my colleagues from AILA.
To be honest with all of you, I was really disappointed in the message from AILA. In the rush to �inform,� they forgot to pause, analyze and really discuss the true possibility that USCIS would be directed by the Department of State to halt receipt of Adjustment of Status petitions. I want my clients to know this: at this point, I am not worried that the visa numbers will not be available throughout July. If I were worried, I would let you know. My responsibility is to guide you through this process and if there is any genuine worry on my part, I will let you know IMMEDIATELY.

If we are claiming to be best and the brightest having high skills and inventing then it is EB1 and EB2 mostly. By law EB3 is mostly for people who have Bachelor degree and hardly any experience in their field to claim as EB2. It does not matter you are masters from Harvard but by law, if your job requires just a bachelor degree then you are doing basic work at lower management. Legally EB3 have no case if they claim to be best and the brightest inventors. All doctors get EB2 or EB1. All managers with advanced degrees get EB2. All Scientists and PhD holders get EB1 and EB2. So EB3 is mostly people who are low skilled programmers or people who despite having higher degrees are doing jobs that do not need advanced skills. There are some exceptions of people who are screwed by their lawyers and employers by forcing them in EB3. These people should fight with their lawyers and employers or change their jobs to EB2. EB3 do not have a strong legal case to fight for EB3 if they claim to be best and the brightest. It is very humiliating but you like it or not EB3 is grouped with EB3 Other Workers that are waiters, janitors, construction workers, Farm workers etc.

not a bad idea. Only that those who came here on an F-1 will need to get an F4 (something like a dual-intent work visa) after graduation. those of us who came here on F-1 and worked hard for GREs and through grad school did it only because we wanted to settle down here.
See, if you had immigrant intent, the F1 should have been denied. There should be no dual intent for any work visa whether F4 or H1 or L1, period. If the worker is supposed to be in a permanent job, only option should be to get a green card. The current system has encouraged a bad habit of pretending that permanent workers are really temporary workers who would eventually go back.

It might have been answered before elsewhere, but I'm wondering about the logic on how the spillover visas are allocated. Would have been nice if the spillover visas are allocated to oversubscribed countries instead of categories, this way 10k spillover visas that EB2-I is getting now will be distributed equally between EB2 and EB3 ... I believe that's one thing IV is going to or has taken up.
Looks like parents did a good job of taking both the sick kids to hospital, but the doctor treated only one kid saying that the second untreated kid is not good as the one getting the treatment :D ... if the 2nd kid survives thru the period of time the 1st kid recovers without any treatment, then the 2nd kid will get the treatment.
LOL, why am I extending the topic ...
I for one would like to know exactly what IV is planning to take up for the cause of EB3 before contributing.

Rep.Darell Issa (NY) has introduced a bill to end the Diversity Lottery program and give the 55k visas to EB applicants with advanced US Degrees. This is a pretty exciting development (at least to me).
I think this is a great starting point that we should all jump on to clear EB backlogs.

Bill Summary & Status - 112th Congress (2011 - 2012) - H.R.43 - THOMAS (Library of Congress) (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d112:h.r.00043:)
In the three days - Jan 5, 6 & 7, there were 75 bills referred to the House Judiciary Committee. This was one of the 75. Very likely, this is just posturing and nothing more.

So, what will be the e-mail address or fax #? And what format are you specifically waiting to receive the data so a uniform document it's compiled.

Add one more member....and probably each one of them will add another? It will be a bigger team of us if we can kick this idea to work ..and then I am hopeful we will be heard :-)
Yes, I thought of that(a chain reaction sort of) too. But wanted to keep it simple. But we could probably do that on the side without affecting the original campaign.
May be we should own responsibility of the candidate we bring. Make sure that he contributes, then make sure that he submits the right contact info, and finally make sure he does the same (follow AMC bullet points).
I like the idea of an abbreviation.
Everyone please contribute ONE member by December 31st.

Called most of the listed numbers, most of them were aware of the phone campaign going on. Few of them insisted that they do not entertain calls from other states but the rest informed that they will convey the message to the representative.
People who are still thinking about calling, please call these congressmen now. This campaign is very important for us and we need to act NOW.

Hi Summitpointe,
I think you can take info pass appointment and show them EB2 approved I-140 with priority date as Spt 2004. Last year I also converted my EB3 to EB2 but my lawyer filed I-140 and I-485 concurrently around Aug 2010 and USCIS rejected the application saying priority date is not current for the first time. My lawyer filed is second time with old fees stating that when application originally filed with old fees they again rejected and finally 3rd time with new fees they did accepted applications. For my case they approved my EB2 I-140 and 485 just same day....... and got my n my spouse's green cards... after painful immigration journey....
All the best !!!
I would like to take this opportunity to Thank Immigration Voice Forum... Its a great place to seek help for any issues related to Immigration ...

I know EB2 is much slower than EB3 from what I have heard. Hence i was wondering how many ppl on EB3 have done their PERM recently?
I believe there are two PERM centers, Chicago and Atlanta. Mine was filed at Chicago in EB3 and took 13 days.

There is no update on Murthy's website - She normally publishes authentic information on her site - So possibly we still may have a chance in July.
I guess the current wave of forward movement was due to murthy's discussions with Head of DOS.
