I agree with this 100%, BUT we (US degree holdeers) have to understand that in the GC aspirant community there are tons of people who came in through "desi consultnats" (even this word makes my blood boil), who will never agree with this or support this. Classic Indian mentality, one crab pulling the other back in the basket.

Commendable effort. The ideas presented in the forum and your personal experience as well as some research by you were taken to the people who might have some say in this process. The outcome of it does not matter right now, atleast the process has started and we need to follow on it with some targeted activity. Lot of my fellow IV'ians gave suggestions and some presented stories too. I did come across this thread only today and I missed out on an opportunity to present my story but nevertheless others have done so, i am somewhat lucky that despite the pain and hardship I did get my GC a year and half ago but I feel the pain my friends go through every day and continue to associate with IV.
I have read through each and every post made in this thread and these are good responses. There are some very good proposals - some likely to benefit a small set of
people ( GC's for Master's from US universities) and others wide encompassing.
I think the fix for this needs to go beyond smaller subsets of people.
A single master stroke is not going to erase the backlog it will need a series of fixes and the best way to go about it is to push for 1 or 2 main goals which will eliminate most of the issues. IV's core efforts are in the right direction.
IV'ians need to be united in getting a broadly accepted solution to majority of people rather than a small minority. Clearly my allegiance lies with people with priority dates which are more than 5 years old, people who are stuck in backlog centers, name check's and unexplained delays for no fault of theirs. This is not to belittle other people who are in the line for their GC's everybody have to wait their turn.
Friends who are espousing the cause of faster GC's for US Masters, do not sit on the high pedestal and belittle the people who came in on 'work visas'. They have as much right as you to have that 'Green card'. The time is not to fight EB2 vs EB3 or by ethnicity. A big deluge starts with a small drop of water, let us begin somewhere and once we get a fix to the larger problem other things will fall in place.
oh for the people who are ready to bash me, please see my profile, been in this country since 1996 and earned 2 Masters and yet classified as EB3 by employer. Yes I joined IV late officially but I try to do my bit in whatever way I can.
- cheers

By the way, why are you calling them losers and traiters? Can you elaborate?
Every company has their business model. If someone doesn't like it, they can for sure move on.
The situation with your friend though it is bad, that is how they work.
What else did you expect the manager to do?
You can't be one step ahead of everybody else in all aspects. There is good and bad working for the socalled losers and traiters. You may get GC in fast track or you may get shipped back when you get sick.
You envy the ones who got the GC and pity the once who got shipped.
Oh yes, sick leave, have you worked for Losers and Traiters on site? do they have a sick leave policy for on site slaves? do any one of them have one for sick leave or for that matter anything else? would you send me one from your company?
My friend was working for Losers and Traiters - got real sick due to neck pain - took leave from work - went to a doctor - doctor suggected him a treatment for a month. Guess what, they shipped him back. Who will have an "idle resource" on site? How ethical.
I asked them to provide a copy of their US insurance policy and on-site employee handbook. I am yet to get one, besides the manager told me since I am no way connected to Losers and Traiters (who wants to?), I am not allowed to ask for such documents. The poor slave friend of mine went to India and resigned within a week.
now....from your posts, you seem to be a slave working for the welfare of one of these companies (desi or dcc). Keep up the good work. And don't forget to ask your boss about the documents mentioned above.

Well, If people can also add a post, if they are current due to upgrade, will be helpful to get an idea on the impact of porting, as mentioned in VB, it seems to have a greater impact on dates movement.
I think it helps. Please post a comment, if you port from EB3 to EB2

Guys any update on Interim EAD. Did anyone even tried applying ofcourse thru infopass? Or is that every one are getting their EADs intime??
Will go for infopass on 28th Aug and will carry the USCIS memo dated June 12th 2008 with me.I will insist them to give me their reply in writing (as a letter), I plan to talk with their superior if they do not provide in writing.
So frustrated with this mess.

My best guess is the USCIS people do not want to work. If the move the PD's, then they have to scan millions of files to find which ones are having the PD current. So, it is in their interest to not move the PDs.
I think they will again open gates for a month like last year and then approve whatever file comes in their hand and that way not have to work or find the files with the PD current. So, the lucky ones will get approved and unlucky ones will keep sitting until next year (no matter what their PD is ). So, sad what kind of organization is it, no accountability and no performance checks on them.

I met lots of people, I remember a lot of names, but how can I write down all the names, it will be a long list. Oh forgot, I met my wife too there:)
It was fun to meet so many people, its amazing, you read threads, you see IV handles and you try to be imaginative on who that person would be, but you just can't put a face behind the IV handle. Then you get to meet them in person and you say my name is this and my name is that and then we look surprised, who.. and then the question comes, whats your IV handle. Then we talk as we have known each other for years. We all fight for the same cause, we all have compelling stories very personal, very painful, the never ending wait for getting a green card. Some of them are in with us even though they have crossed the hurdle of getting a green card, because they believe in our cause, they don't want anyone to go through the pain all of us are going through. Hats off to all.. the train has left the station now, we have one voice, IMMIGRATION VOICE!!!!

Thats true dear pappu,
I Never donated anything to IV so far, but now I will do that. I did spread awareness about IV from last several years, and will keep doing so.
IV helps me a lot in providing valuable information plus very big moral support when i got frustrated.
Thank you I IV and Dear Teddy for his great hardwork.
is there anyway we can add some more points in IV agenda if they are already not there,
1. what we can do to reduce Citizenship waiting time for us who are already waiting from many years for GC because of the retrogression.
2. how to make easier for a unmarried Greencard holder to bring their spouses to US rather then waiting for 4 years.
if you dont like any of the above suggestions, just ignore and dont fight.
Thanks

if you can have a normal conversation = you are not working as much
if you can talk intermittently = you are challenging your body enough
if you cannot talk at all = you are working too much and this does not help either
For the starters ...walk at your normal pace..remember you are starting to condition your body towards walking 3 miles by a certain time frame. it is ok if you can only get to 1 mile instead of 3. it is going to be a journey.
If you are new to fitness walking or running and you already support IV, now you can do both - see above post by Santb1975. I also recommend this methodology.

Its not true Chintu might have made tons ....................................stocks yesterday.
I'm not against trading , Just wanted to show my constructive criticism.
Hello,
Good point by BReddy,
The stocks I suggested are for Shorts as well as Longs. You have to watch your "CHARTS" .
I did make some mo on TARG These plays were only for that day I do not recommend playing them even one day after that
I run scans nightly as well as in the Pre Hours for day trading .
Answer to Pointlesswait ....Most of the brokerages would need atleast 500 to open an account....You can play as little as 100 but your profits will be eaten away by the trade fee.
BReddy....I remember when I just started doing this .......Even names like GAp etc were greek to me ...hence am trying to be as simple as I can with the basics before we get into finer details .
I would like to encourage yall to come forward and ask questions ...If I cannot answer them , I will find it out or some one else on the forum who has the knowledge may answer them too.
I will post tomm's plays if anyone is interested ...Lemme Know
Thanks

This is a perfect example of motivation, time management and dedication to improving your lifestyle and IV.
Kudos to Needhelp!
My office is only on the 2nd floor of the building where I work, but at as much as possible, I take the stairs, going up as much as 4 flights and down as many as 18!!
Whether you are getting back into shape or trying to sustain a healthy life style, this is a perfect way to staying on top of your goal!! And in the process of self-improvement you are raising money for IV!! How noble is that!!:)
