I am surprised to see this thread active this long. Earlier I have with help of Saralayar and other members have bring this point to attention. But at that time no one was supporting Idea.
I see increasing support for the Idea as GC journey become longer and longer.
Earlier I have pointed following points that I want to bring to remind if we want to get real support for this idea of early CITIZENSHIP AFTER GREEN CARD
(1) I-140 and I-485 must be approved.
(@) Time should be considered only after getting GC
(3) For getting closer for political support our proposal should be close to Existing laws for FAMILY BASED and MARRIAGE BASED CITIZENSHIPS
So we should argur that if YOU HAVE MASTER AND ABOVE IN STEM FILEDS YOu can get CITIZEN SHIP 5 yrs from date of Approval of I-140 ( which make it closer to fmaily based) and THREE YEARS from Date of Approval of I-485 (closer to marriage based citizens). You can get earlier of two . But when you get Citizenship your I-485 must be approved for ATLEAST 1 year.
The above requirements can get closer to Marriage and family based and also help 90% of IV members.
Adding the clause for the EDUCATIONAL THING might be able to get more political support also
Thanks

Visa mix-up brings flood of flowers in protest
By LEAH RAE
Hundreds of legal immigrants are resorting to a new tactic this week in their pursuit of green cards: sending flowers to the head of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The publicity stunt follows lobbying efforts and lawsuits protesting a sudden change in the rules that govern employer-sponsored immigrants. After rushing to submit green-card applications by July 2, the immigrants were told at the last minute to keep waiting.
Notes being delivered to Emilio Gonzalez, head of USCIS, along with the bouquets skip over the pleasantries and speak directly to the bureaucracy.
"Kindly do not return our I-485 petitions in July," the messages say, "and honor the original DOS visa bulletin."
The dispute concerns a U.S. Department of State bulletin from mid-June, dictating who could apply for an immigrant visa. The application is the final hurdle in getting a green card, or permanent residency. Because of a backlog, immigrants spend years waiting their turn, but the unusual June bulletin gave most job-based immigrants the go-ahead to apply.
Jakub Gorecki, who lives in Spring Valley, hurried to get his paperwork together in time. The thick packet of documents - medical exams, vaccination records, a birth certificate from Poland, a $325 application fee - was to arrive July 2 at USCIS, he said.
But that morning, a new bulletin came out, canceling the offer. No applications would be accepted until the new fiscal year in October.
The reversal sent Gorecki and others back to a limbo state.

Senate Judiciary committe hearing on immigration will start from March 2nd and will start talking with Sen. Specter's markup which is a good starting point and the full senate hearing will subsequently start as expected on March 27th.
Congress to consider immigration in March
By Ray O'Hanlon
rohanlon@irishecho.com
With regard to the reform issue in Congress, the expectation as of this week was that the Senate Judiciary Committee could take up the various reform bills as early as Thursday, March 2.
The initial discussion in the committee would focus primarily on the proposal drawn up by its chairman, Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania.
Specter has presented a so-called "chairman's mark" which is comprised of original proposals and some aspects of other bills including the Senate's McCain/Kennedy bill, and the Sensenbrenner/King bill, which has already been passed by the House of Representatives.
The Judiciary Committee hearing is a prelude to full Senate consideration but St. Patrick's Day is likely to delay that for some days after March 17.
This year, for the first time, Congress is taking a week off after the Irish patron saint's day and officially labeling the break as the St. Patrick's Day recess.
That would mean that the earliest likely date for a Senate debate on whatever the judiciary Committee presents it would begin on Monday, March 27.
Given the sharp contrast in the main bills, that debate could some time, weeks if not months to complete.
Meanwhile, Bush noticeably advanced his position on reform in his State of the Union speech to the joint houses of Congress.
"We hear claims that immigrants are somehow bad for the economy, even though this economy could not function without them," he said.
"All these are forms of economic retreat, and they lead in the same direction toward a stagnant and second-rate economy," the president added.
"Keeping America competitive requires an immigration system that upholds our laws, reflects our values and serves the interests of our economy.
"Our nation needs orderly and secure borders. To meet this goal, we must have stronger immigration enforcement and border protection. And we must have a rational, humane guest worker program that rejects amnesty, allows temporary jobs for people who seek them legally, and reduces smuggling and crime at the border," he added.
However, as with previous statements, Bush did not go into detail as to how he exactly defines amnesty.
How he, and Congress, ultimately defines it will have a profound effect on the lives of tens of thousands of undocumented Irish.

I was just wondering if anybody knows about Science & Technology Related VISA Issuance Delay at Indian consulates and embassy. Is it a new thing introdcuced recently? Now they require you to fill up a 6-pages long questionnaire and wait 2-3 weeks delay. Anybody on h1-B has gone through this?

Who is the primary applicant ?
I am the Primary - Last update on my case is 2009
Did you create an SR ? Yes
Did you have an Infopass ? Yes - which was of no use
My wife has a RFE last year so may be taht soft LUD is they r checkin may be
how many SRs did you create? Two SRs would be good - call once for your receipt number and then, after 5-10 mins have your wife call once for her receipt number.
At the end of the day they send the SRs to the corresponding service center (TSC or NSC) where it is looked at...and responded to later. (this is what the customer service rep told me).

Is there any provision in any of the upcomming immigration bills that allows for "Ability to file for I485 even with visa number unavailability.". I know that
some of the provisions in Hagel (S. 1916, 1917, 1918, & 1919) Specter (unnumbered draft) bills have provisions for removal of numerical limits on adjust of status for people who have an advanced degree from US.
But is there any provision in any of the immigration bills which allows for "Ability to file for I485 even with visa number unavailability." like the one that was in s 1932. This would be easy to pass as Green card numbers would stay the SAME and no major modification is done to the existing law

I heard that we have to provide all the address where we stayed in USA for filing I485. But very first time I came to USA almost 6-7 years back for short term and I do not remeber the actual address. Basically i do not remeber very first two address when I came here for short term. Is it a matter of concern.

NSC sent me a response that my GC got lost in mail as I raised a SR for card. My wife got CPO but I got a letter from USCIS NSC that my card was sent on the same day my I-485 approval notice was sent which I think is some mix up on USCIS and to file I-90 . I got all letters from USCIS but not this one so I called customer service and talked to 2nd level IO who went through my case and said card was never created. She will raise a new SR for that which was on 10/12/2010
Do you guys recommend to send emails to NSC followup?

I don't understand why some section of educated people doesn't understand small things...
1. Intention in sending the flowers is to gain attention from USCIS and the media.
2.Do you know one thing, USCIS director himself helped us more than half to gain media attention by making a statement and forwarding those flowers to the Hospital.
3. If there are 'n' flower orders, they will reach 'n' families in the states with our message in them. Our initial goal was to gain the attention of USCIS director and media. Now we are getting a bonus of 'n' families and their mouth publicity to our problem.
If you sent flowers, and you differ in thinking atleast have patience and see the result in couple of days. Don't do any bad at this point.
Lets hope the best.

it would be nice to see indian corps. to start flights from all major US cities...just bypass UK and the gang.
I live in Boston area and cant use the flights which u just mentioned..and by the way if it wasn't for the poor response of the Indian govt. we would have a had a thriving international airline industry.. have u seen the airport, the service of indian airlines..i'd more than happy to use indian flights if they only improved in world class sense..
one reason why countries like UK can exploit us is becoz they know we don't have a better choice..
Agreed - not everyone lives in Newark - but if you are willing to change planes in London and undergo humiliation - why not at Newark or JFK?
last i checked - there are plenty of flights between JFK/Newark and all major cities including Boston.
also - all airlines work on a hub and spoke arrangement.......Air France hub is Paris, Continental hubs are houston, newark and cleveland and so on.......so would be difficult to find a direct continental flight from say boston to atlanta - you have to fly via one of the hubs.......similarly - for most Indian airlines - their hubs are in India.......not in US - so unlikely that economics would work out in favor of direct flights except say from Houston, NYC area, Chicago and Bay Area.......folks living in other cities would have to make connections in any case....
speaking of service- am not sure how you can consider Air India (given that Jet is world class in any case) any worse than any major European or American carrier (with the exception of perhaps Virgin) in terms of food and service?
Indian Airports - completely agree with you........with the new airports under construction in all major indian cities - hopefully - we will have world class airports soon!

Record Number of Americans in Prison
By DAVID CRARY, AP
NEW YORK - For the first time in U.S. history, more than one of every 100 adults is in jail or prison, according to a new report documenting America's rank as the world's No. 1 incarcerator. It urges states to curtail corrections spending by placing fewer low-risk offenders behind bars.
The report said the United States incarcerates more people than any other nation, far ahead of more populous China with 1.5 million people behind bars. It said the U.S. also is the leader in inmates per capita (750 per 100,000 people), ahead of Russia (628 per 100,000) and other former Soviet bloc nations which round out the Top 10.
The U.S. also is among the world leaders in capital punishment. According to Amnesty International, its 53 executions in 2006 were exceeded only by China, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq and Sudan.
How pathetic, you don't even have a response for the "skills" practiced by H1/L1/Indian offshroe companies/fly-by-night operators!!
More than one of every 100 adults is in jail or prison in USA.

Record Number of Americans in Prison
By DAVID CRARY, AP
NEW YORK - For the first time in U.S. history, more than one of every 100 adults is in jail or prison, according to a new report documenting America's rank as the world's No. 1 incarcerator. It urges states to curtail corrections spending by placing fewer low-risk offenders behind bars.
The report said the United States incarcerates more people than any other nation, far ahead of more populous China with 1.5 million people behind bars. It said the U.S. also is the leader in inmates per capita (750 per 100,000 people), ahead of Russia (628 per 100,000) and other former Soviet bloc nations which round out the Top 10.

I am not considering any spill over etc...
here is what says on visa bulletin
Visa Bulletin October 2009 (http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4575.html)
The worldwide level for annual employment-based preference immigrants is at least 140,000.
EMPLOYMENT-BASED PREFERENCES
First: Priority Workers: 28.6% of the worldwide employment-based preference level, plus any numbers not required for fourth and fifth preferences.
Second: Members of the Professions Holding Advanced Degrees or Persons of Exceptional Ability: 28.6% of the worldwide employment-based preference level, plus any numbers not required by first preference.
Third: Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Other Workers: 28.6% of the worldwide level, plus any numbers not required by first and second
preferences, not more than 10,000 of which to "Other Workers".
worldwide level = 140000
EB3 = 28.6% of 140000
can you please clarify ?
no...
You are assuming that the spillover from remaining countries in EB3 will be allocated to EB3 I/C/P/M. The spillover rules that changed in 2007 will ensure that those visas will first go to E1 -> EB2 and then fall to us if there is an overflow. Unfortunately that will not happen because there are many retrogressed individuals in EB2 and they will get the visas first.

Guys just want to appreciate the efforts by different members here. At least it gives a sense of support that you are not alone in this whole fiasco when you hear around you people getting their FP or EADs and you are left feeling frustrated and anxious.
This forum actually has become quite important and please keep on posting details and updates.
Wishing that it ends soon for all of us and ease our anxiety.
Cheers!!!!

I sent mine. Did you?
Folks, all other issues can wait. AC21 is one silver lining in the GC journey which is otherwise filled with the dark clouds of Retrogression. We shouldn't let this benefit be taken away from us through unfair denials.
You may not be a AC21 beneficiary now, but may have to avail it sooner or later if the economy continues to tank, like it's doing now. Most economists don't see economy recovering for couple more years.
Act now, instead of regretting later.

I wanted to put down the various steps I undertook or have happened since my PD got current in hopes that it might help anybody...
PD: Nov 2005 EB2 @ NSC got current in August.
We were in India when my wife got a FP notice in July. Missed it completely but was lucky that the lawyer realized we were on vacation and requested a postponement of FP appointment.
The original FP appointment notice was for July 7th and we never received a second appointment notice until Aug 20th.
In the meanwhileI travelled back to USA and opened SRs, Infopass and sent emails to NSC, Opended an Ombudsman inquiry, contacted senators separately for myself and for my wife. I got GC approval on August 10th.
My wife had her FP taken on Sept 3rd and today we received CPO email for her too. Good luck to all who are waiting and I suggest do everything you can like SRs, emails, contacting senators, ombudsman inquiry, infopass appts. Not sure what worked.
My Main conern was that my AOS (principal applicant) would be stalled because my spouse (dependent) had expired FPs and we missed an appointment. Apparently this turned out not to be the case.
Thanks IV for a lot of useful information. All the best to everybody.
