Aadimanav or anyone,
I am planning to send a letter to President, First Lady, DOS chief besides other Govt. rep. Anyone has the addresses?
I am in CP and I am writing to them to allow CP filers who are already working here in the US to file for AOS (even if the PD is not current) anticipating a very long delay for EB3 I. That way we could get atleast the minimal benefits like EAD, AP.
If any CP filers from EB3 I wanna join me, more than welcome!

although this doesn't fit 100% to your case. You may want to look at the attached administrative appeals office decision.
Essentially, a person was denied in eb2 because they had a 3 yr bsc and 2 year masters. they had education evaluationstating that masters indian degree was equal to us masters degree.
nebraska service center stated that 3+2 is not equal to masters degree. Admininstrative appeals office decision approved it saying that it didn't matter how long the combined study was. As long as foreign masters equals us masters then that is all which needs to be proven.
My experience has been that texas service center sends an rfe for this 3+2 education. I know of 8 cases where thie decision was shown in the rfe and they all 8 got approved. I know of one case in nebraska where this case was shown and they still denied it stating that it wasn't a precedent decision (person already had another 140 denied and there was some history in his case which i believe caused nebraska to deny it). Odd part was that the appeals office decision was from nebraska service center
The above mentioned case was later denied. AAO withdrew the approval. See this link -

Thank you very much for all the response. I waited for responses from different places so I could determnine if it is a Nationwide policy as what the Colorado was saying.
I am from Colorado and I think Colorado is one of the strickest states in the US whatever.
It looks like from responses that only Colorado has so far adhered to this new policy.
I have 4 friends who currently cannot drive because their licenses have expired and they are waiting for MVI's (Motor Vehicle Investigative Unit) letter. Until such letter is issued, you cannot renew your license (in Colorado). According to MVI Here, it will take to 5-7 days, but if there is a problem, it will take up to 9 weeks.
Really rediculous procedure and I agree with everyone.
Just in case anyone there is in the same predicament, please share your story and the resolution.
What we are seeing here is the uneven implementation of the REAL ID act passed by Congress last year. The act gives upto December 2006 or March 2008 (I am not sure which) for all states to have an uniform process in issuing DLs. Essentially, what it means that once the act is fully in place, no one, be it an American citizen or a immigrant can get a DL on the spot. They will take your SS no and other documents (i am not sure about what they actually require) and run it against the USCIS database to confirm your legality. It might take upto a week or a month to get your permit in the mail. The act also puts a limit on the maximum validity of a DL which cannot be more than the date on your visa. In the meantime, I guess they will be issuing you with a paper permit allowing you to drive. It all sounds nice and hunky dory to read but the problems are numerous. First off, the entire onus of funding this federal mandate is put on the States. Many states have already lodged their protests against this requirement as it will mean them having to increase the fees significantly. Secondly, the act assumes that the SS database and the USCIS database is up to date and has no flaws. Thirdly, it assumes that the chcks against the databases will have a fairly quick turnaround time. We all know how laughable these assumptions are (FBI FP check victims will appreciate this).
The REAL ID act is another of those great ideas that have been rammed down the throats of the American public without suffficient debate similar to the HR 6061 that was passed by the house leading to the whole CIR fiasco.
Hopefully, as time goes by saner minds will prevail and the act will either be repelled or modified to make it easier for genuine people to get the DL quickly. In the meantime, get prepared to face another bureaucratic and government created retrogression :(

My prayers are with the family members.
let me quote from the news article:
It appears that it might have been a robbery. And I feel the hospital did not do much to save his life. Since he was shot in the leg (the bullet might have hit the main artery) its still possible to stop the bleeding. I personally feel he could have been saved, unless we know the full story.
I feel so sorry for the poor guy and their family. After all the hard work in life, he didn't deserve to die like this.
Folks, please be extra cautious when you get into in your car.
1) Always check the rear seat before getting in your car. A crook might be hiding there.
2) When you get inside a car that is parked in a building ( with insufficient lighting or no people around), immediately lock the door. Thats the first thing you have to do, and then arrange the shopping bag or item that are in your hand.
3) If some stranger is approaching you, be cautious, no matter how 'friendly' he looks. Think fast and look for exit signs and plan an exit run, should the need arise.
4) I read long time ago, if in the worst case, say a carjacker who gained access inside your car and hiding in the back seat. And if you have not noticed anything and you just started the vehicle and are about to go, he puts a knife of gun and asks directs you to drive his way, then, JUST SPEED UP STRAIGHT AND HIT THE WALL OR PILAR AS FAST AS YOU CAN. The air bag would protect you after the collision, but the passenger(carjacker) would be thrown out or would have sever body injuries. You would have enough time to escape with minor injuries.
5) Take precautions and don't loiter in areas that you not familiar with.
Be safe, folks!!!
Dude, are you serious about some of your suggestions? Do you watch too many action/scary movies? Most car’s driven by desi’s (Toyota’s/Honda’s) don’t even have enough leg room; leave alone a man hiding in the rear seat of the car.
When there are so many luxury cars out there, why would anyone even to try to carjack our rundown cars? Even if a thief gains access to your car, why would he hide in the rear seat and wait for you, unless you’re a hot looking babe.
Why don’t you go further and suggest that we need to check our bathrooms before entering cuz a psycho might be lying-in wait to pounce upon us while taking a shower.
Your suggestion of hitting the car on a wall or pillar to avoid a carjacker is the last straw to put everyone’s lives in danger.
Most of these incidents are straight forward. The bad guy asks for money, the good guy refuses or tries to put up a fight and gets shot. When you’re faced with a mugger/carjacker, always comply with their demands and leave quickly. That’s it.
I agree, we need to be cautious of the surroundings. But not to the paranoid level of checking out every hiding place or hitting the car on a wall/pillar.

Good job Macaca. Just one thing though, it looks like 1M includes all pending AOS and not just EB. Please see http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/cisomb_annualrpt07__June_11_2007_section3b_backlog s.pdf
According to Ombudsman's report,
Pending cases = EB + Family + Refugee + Asylum + ... = Backlogged cases + Unripe cases = 1,275,795 (page 11) + 1,316,740 (Figure 1, page 14) = 2,592,535 (as of March 2007)
I am approximating 1M to be EB based, 1.5M to be family based and 92,535 to be asylum + refugee (which is a lot).

Cash Surrender Value
The sum of money an insurance company will pay to the policyholder or annuity holder in the event his or her policy is voluntarily terminated before its maturity or the insured event occurs. This cash value is the savings component of most permanent life insurance policies, particularly whole life insurance policies. Also known as "cash value", "surrender value" and "policyholder's equity".
Notes:
Cash surrender value applies to the savings element of whole life insurance policies that are payable before death. However, during the early years of a whole life insurance policy, the savings portion brings very little return compared to the premiums paid.
You are correct when you look at early years only. But for the longer term whole life is better. Yes for short term Whole life can be very bad.
Read the pros and cons on the NY State website at the end.
http://www.ins.state.ny.us/que_top10/que_life_who.htm
Pros:
Predictable, in most cases premiums are fixed for the life of the insured.
The beneficiaries receive the death benefit no matter when the insured dies, as long as premiums were paid.
The policy may build up cash value, which grows tax deferred.
If you surrender the policy at a later date, the cash value, if any, will be returned to you.
If you stop making premium payments you can receive the cash value or use that cash value to provide a paid up insurance benefit. The company must provide either extended term insurance coverage or reduced paid paid-up coverage. While it is not required that both options be offered many companies do make both available.
Cons:
A more complex product than term life insurance.
Higher premiums than term life insurance.
Could be costly if coverage lapses early. (You don't want to cancel early and if you are not sure then never take Whole Life. If you are planning for long term only then take Whole life)

The guys a joke...wonder why he stops at "Consider a typical Anchor Immigrant who comes from a developing nation and has three adult siblings" he should say typical anchor immigrants have 15 siblings and anchor immigrant gets a GC and USCIS presents the entire clan with GCs on the spot... US will be teaming with immigrants blah..blah.blah... I am more surprised by the naive people who believe in him and contribute, by overreacting to his nonsense.

This whole discussion is really silly... I'm glad IV leadership is not self centered, atleast from what i see they think about the community on the whole.
Lets put all these fruitless arguments to rest... the ROW vs India/China, Nurses vs Others, EB1 vs EB2 vs EB3!
I'm EB3 India and I have no one to blame but me for being in EB3 (I'm certainly qualified to be in EB2 but I chose to stick around with the same company for the very reason we all are here on this forum... i.e GC)
For those who think its unfair... rather then sulking about it... do something and move to EB2 if you cant wait any longer... or at least support IV in their efforts.

To put out a fire and to prevent it from happening again you need two things:
(1) Take the fuel away
(2) Take the Oxygen away
(3) Make sure you don't have any sparks flying around.
Immigration reform, whether for legals or illegals, needs massive support from the American people. Most of the people are in no mood to support a "reform" unless the president can stem the flow at the border.
To able to get any kind of immigration relief legislaton through, the president needs to work hard and quick at sealing the border shut. Time and again "the other side" has laid this as a pre-requisite to any immigration related dialogue.
I don't know why this is so hard to do. The border is there for a reason and it is the Federal government's responsibility to maintian its integrity, whatever it takes, National Guard, drones, US Army..whatever.
That being said, don't read too much into this "Thursday speech by the president". It is lip service, or as go_guy pointed out...political posturing.
P.S: Admin, deleting my posts will NOT get you your green card sooner.

I have a feeling that they will HAVE To process EAD's in 90 days( that's what the current rule says ) or reinstate the Interim EAD's - terminating Interim EAD seems like the dumbest move they ever made. If either of these doesn't happen, lawsuits are sure to follow. So, don't worry too much about it my friend.
Please see in the USCIS web site that you have to apply 6 months in advance if you are renewing EAD. With so many I485s, EADs, APs flooding the Service centers, you need to apply the EAD now if you want to use it after 6 months from now.

You have a right to demand what is called a temp driving permit which is for 30 days. if your case is not resolved in 30 days, you can go back and get another. this can go on till your case is completed. While carrying the temp cert, since there is no photo ID, i advise you carry your passport or any other photo ID.

Like you I had been waiting since 2005 (when my labor and I 140 got approved) for my PD to be current. Now that its been current since October 1, 2008 and even had been current in few months in early 2008 I realize that its just one more wait.
Nothing is going top happen by increasing quota unless USCIS speeeds up processing and decised to process based on a documented criteia (right now its completely random as TSC and NSC are out of synch and neither seems to follow any sequence of PD, ND or RD).
Me and others like me have been waiting since 2001 and we are still stuck even though PD is current. We have a special thread for us who are pre OCt 2001 PD and are still waiting. So if anything focus on getting USCIS to process orderly and efficiently. If you increase quota but dont change USCIS behaviour you will be worse off.
Hello nozerd
Call your local congressman or Congresswoman and Senator. They will help your case. My friend was in same situation and they helped him. He got his GC in 2 months after calling his congressman.
Hello All:
This is a very sad for EB3, there is no movement since 2004 Dec except 2007 fiasco. Our best option is right now to send a letter to local congress member and Senator. Tell your story in the letter. When did you come, what is your investment, future investment, career stagnant and our life is hanging in the middle of no-where. I will suggest to everyone to send the same letter to Local news paper also. At least you will see some kind reponse from politician here. I have alwyas receive a response from house members and senators. I think we should send the same letter to Ombudsman too. This is my thoughts. If gorup have some other idea. Please let us know.

I will suggest to everyone to send the same letter to Local news paper also. At least you will see some kind reponse from politician here. I have alwyas receive a response from house members and senators. I think we should send the same letter to Ombudsman too. This is my thoughts. If gorup have some other idea. Please let us know.

to everyone from India (it does not matter which region, which religion etc). It is a festival of lights and everyone in India celebrates it.
