I think once couple of senators start rocking our issue others will start supporting too.
We need to acknowledge her support and do something to convey our happiness/gratitude over her reaction to this mess.

While reading the previous posts I saw that adtisement was on DOL for 30 days before filing PERM. Is that the rule? My lawyer waited for 60 days before sending the application.
Also does the country of origin has any impact on the processing time?

My son aged out by 31 days (DOB: 03/30/1986) after applying CSPA benefit (I-140 processing period) of one month and hence could not file 485 application (in this July) and hence we are going through lot of hardships in different ways ( showing $27k balance for F1 , maintaining F1 status at very high tuition fees, showing high bank balance for OPT etc...).
My son is herein USA for the last 8 years from his 13th year studying from his 9th grade to his undergraduate final year. My I-140 was applied/approved in his 19th year - however, due to retrogression, I-485 could not be applied and hence this issue.
I sincerely feel that - the objective of CSPA was to extend protection to this kind of situations - but could not fulfil the same because of later unexpected retrogression which was not there in employment based categories in 2002 and hence is a kind of technical anomaly. I also feel that if core group puts its heart in to this issue - it could convince the law makers easily since it is more of a humanterian issue and the problem is due to unintended technical anomaly and with practically Nil negative effects even from anti-immigrant view point.
As a group, age-out cases may not be many - but the suffering by these few is huge - after being in USA for 9 years, these children have to be separated from their families, has to repeat the cycle - continue study at vey high tuition fees, go through OPT / H1B (if in IT and wins H1b Lottery) / labor / I-140 / I-485/EAD/GC).
I request core group to study the issue in depth - then I am sure they can convince the law makers easily since it is rectification of technical anomaly.

Let us see if we can beat last year's funding drive
I am happy to report that within the first 4 days of this campaign we have already hit a potential fundraising total of $3,500!!!
We need to keep this campaign moving forward, we need IVians to support this cause! Our goal by end of Year 1 is $45,000!!! We need your support to make this initiative a success.
Lets get IV's name out on the national stage by showing our presence at these events. Imagine the impact we will have when they see Team IV walker/runners in Immigration Voice T Shirts at the finish line of all the three walking/running events we have picked and at several other local events as well.
Go IV, Go Team IV!!:)

- It was a historic event, in a historic and scenic location with plenty of symbolism about what America represents - the Washington Monument to the Capitol, and the lobby day, reception (both of which I missed thanks to my flight delay) and press conferences at the Rayburn building.
- An excellent opportunity to get our voices heard where it matters - in D.C.
- Meet fellow IV members!
- Great photo opportunities
- Stories most of us will cherish for the rest of our lives and share with our children & grand children
- Last but not the least, it's always a pleasure to see an intelligent, calm, restrained leader like Aman Kapoor leading the effort in all his selflessness (he already got his green card a while ago). Proud to be a part of an org led by you Mr. Kapoor!
- And before I forget - another incredible selfless person, Ms. Tamsen!
- Plenty of others - too long a list to mention, you know who you are!
Had some down sides as well, but I'll keep this a fun thread... :)

Just checked USCIS.gov. Both mine and my wife's I-485 were approved.

Thanks IV for all the support.

CONGRATS My friend. Really feeling happy to see the approvals.

Hello Susie,
My daughter accompanied me on H4 visa. My labor was approved in June 2006 and she turned 21 in July 2006. My I 140 was approved in Dec 2006. I have received valuable inputs from IV members and understand that she has aged out. I believe that things can be simplified if unmarried children under 21 who come as dependants of workers with dual intent visas or similar catagories are exempt from ageing out rules. This may avoid lengthy rules, computations, complex interpretations and possibly lawsuits.

I would consider it a waste of time.
You seem to have some misconceptions. I am not a client of the lawyer mentioned, don't owe her anything and asked you for another suggestion. I don't know why you are being negative on this one.
I deleted the lawyers name from the original post, so you can stop with the conspiracy theory.
I work in technology not a law firm.
tonyHK12 appreciate your inputs. We are already united. IV has several thousand members and has conducted several campaigns. The leaders are very capable persons also. You have put forward a general idea but this has been debated a great deal. What is the purpose of even a poll when it is absolutely clear that everybody in this group would welcome a bill solely for reducing backlogg? The question is how can we get the legislator to write and introduce such a bill and then how to get it to pass. Who will support such a bill? Your desire is similar to everybody else in this group but until there is a definite strategy which is different from what has already been tried there is no point in just creating discussions foccussed on desires.
First think out a strategy and put it out. Others will then coment or join it.
Putting out vague goals like "we need a bill" is of not much use. the question that you need to answer is "how?"

I didn't think that EB3 ROW will be "Current" in June. What I meant was that Illusion's PD will be current because he is only 3 months away from May cut off dates.
This is the selfish part of me speaking but I hope they don't become current but move to April 2008 or something similar.
If EB3 ROW is current then that opens up the numbers to EB3 India and China and we saw last year that India alone got 17K approvals so that cuts from the number of ROW approvals.
Again ... it's the selfish part of me ... in a perfect world, nobody would have to wait this long or make these claculations ...
I'm happy for all the people that get that "card ordered" email but I so hope to get one for myself!!!!

What do we say when people correlate illegal and legal immigrations as closely connected?
There was a hearing yesterday in the house "Should We Embrace the Senate's Grant of Amnesty to Millions of Illegal Aliens and Repeat the Mistakes of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986?"
Look what Mr. Steven A. Camarota (Center for Immigration Studies) quotes in his testimony (shown in italics): (http://judiciary.house.gov/media/pdfs/camarota071806.pdf)
...many observers have pointed out that when you reward law breaking, you make legal immigrants who have played by the rules, and in some cases have waited many years to come to our country, look like fools for taking America�s law seriously.
True. But see what he says then...
...Amnesties and Increased Legal Immigration Don�t Solve Problem. �Amnesty spurs more illegal immigration, as does increases in legal immigration. A 1997 report from the INS found that there was a surge of new illegal immigration when the 1986 amnesty went into effect. The increase seems to have been the result of family members joining their newly legalized relatives�
One of the most controversial provisions in S2611 is the very large increase in legal immigration it creates. The larger the pool of immigrants (legal or illegal) in the United States, the greater is the pull for more illegal immigration. Illegal aliens often live with legal immigrants and it is legal immigrants who often provide information about jobs and housing to their relatives and friends back home. Legal immigration has been increasing for more than three decades, and illegal immigration has been increasing right along with it. The top sending countries for legal immigration are by and large the top sending countries for illegal immigration. A survey funded by the National Institute of Health found that one-third of new legal immigrants were former illegal aliens. Legal and illegal immigration are closely linked. The past shows that if you increase one you increase the other. The Senate bill repeats the mistake of thinking amnesty plus increases in legal immigration will solve the problem. It did not in the past and there is no reason to think it will this time around. Instead, S2611 will almost certainly stimulate more illegal mmigration...
Obviously Mr. Camarota was generalizing the legal immigration and was not talking about employer sponsored immigration.
