Yes Lasantha. I am at NSC.
It seems from that USCIS is approving 2003 and 2004 and in April touched couple 2005 PDs with no particular order and without paying attention to RD. high priority is oldest PDs (2003 & 2004) that were stuck in Name Check and now in April since 2005 PD is current, it seems that they touched few of them too.
good luck to both TSC and NSC
Are you NSC Hassan?

What nonsense is this.
Isn't this supposed to be a public forum that people can join and share updates. There is no disclaimer that one needs to donate to participate in discussions on this forum.
If donations are mandatory - this would have been a paid only website and access to all should have been restricted. I bet the participation and visibility of a useful site like this would be detrimental in this case.

ok i managed to find it...but its not easy to find...the average person visiting this site will never know about it. This is a cool benefit...it should be advertised on the site more so people can take advantage. It will certainly generate more interest in IV

You are right that there is no hope for EB3 India. But only as long as you and others in EB3 do not meet their lawmakers. Take part actively in action items. We have details of every local town hall meeting in your area and you can go there. We can help you set up your meeting with your lawmaker in his office. We can help you meet in their DC office if you want to get really active. We have several more details and ideas and need people to work on them.
FYI we never use the terms like EB2 or EB3 in our meetings with lawmakers. There is no priority in our agenda based on category or nationality. ImmigrationVoice.org - About Immigration Voice (http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5&Itemid=47) You will not find anywhere EB2 or EB3 based agenda here.
Well Pappu, the fact of the matter is nothing has been done specifically to help EB3-I/C/ROW. IV may be EB agnostic but EB3-I seems to have been stuck forever to the point of despair.
I and other EB3s have donated to most of the IV causes and campaigns. We have written to our Senators, reps, sponsors and co-sponsors of bills but nothing has helped.
If IV renews its focus to help EB3-I/C/ROW then you can expect more contributiuons from EB3s.
I do not want a lesson on EB3/EB2/EB1...there is no end to opinions on this forum. What I and other EB3-I/C/ROW want are results. Contributions, meeting the lawmakers, writing to politicians etc will kick in fourth gear if there is a reasonable advancement of dates for EB3-I/C/ROW.
BTW, your and other IV leaders' efforts are very much appreciated. All that I am saying is that IV should be focused on EB3-I/C/ROW (through tagging recapture to a bill or something) now that EB2 is getting help from USCIS spillover.

The PDs in the visa bulletin are valid until the next visa bulletin is released or until the end of that month?
I think they are valid from 1 day of a month to the last day of the month but I hear people say that they are valid only until the next month's bulletin is released.
Any inputs here?
Sorry for posting an unrelated question here, I am still figuring out how to create a new thread.

It is easy to hurt someone who is already hurt. Friends, I am with you all. I feel your pain.
I would say - talk to pappu and other core and form a different channel in google groups or yahoogroups and organize yourselves first and collect more and more material needed for IV members and core to start working on these action items.
Can someone stuck in backlog centers take this initiative and do it?

Your logic is not right. They are still American companies as they are based and incorporated in the US. Number of employees in India does not matter. It would be different if they had a majority of Indian employees in the US...

Check the above link too...
"The numbers speak for themselves. Accenture expects to reach 35,000 by the end of this financial year, a 52 per cent increase over last year. IBM already has 53,000 people in India, a 23 per cent increase over the previous year. By the end of the current financial year, Tata Consultancy Services plans to add 30,000 employees, taking its total headcount to 113,500. US-based Capgemini plans to employ 40,000 professionals by 2010."

Do we get a confirmation once a "referred friend" becomes a member? I want to keep tab on who has signed up so that I can follow up with them.
Do you mean an email confirmation? I dont think that is possible. It is better we call them up and make sure they signed up!
Thanks Immilaw.
Everyone, please bring just ONE member to IV by Dec 31st!

"...so far.I haven't contributed....I am ready to contribute...if IV is going to show some interest on EB3.
IV may not be ditching EB3, but I cannot understand why IV is quiet about the new bill that that is introduced in the house and is referred to the judiciary committee. This bill may be a political drama, but there is no reason why we should not create awareness. I personally think if this gets media attention, this will do good than harm. Especially since the AZ immigration, DOJ lawsuit etc.. are in the news these days. This bill is for legal immigration and we should support it to the best we can.

What is going to be the next step? Do we get the card or we need to wait for Approval Notice sent email and after that we get the card.
If anybody can let me know, that will be great........
GO IV GO
it doesnt matter whether you get the approval notice or not. The card is the most important thing.
The card usually takes anywhere from 3-5 days

all the studies by economists, investment experts, psychologists, etc for the last several decades clearly showed that for 99% of the people day trading makes them lose all their money. it is highly addictive and on an average everbody loses their savings. legally it is another style of trading and there are no consequences whether you are on J1, H1B, on EAD or a citizen! (ofcourse if somebody knows which stock is going to be up/down and exactly when, he can make a lot of money (better call him a prophet than a day trader/pattern trader).
Guys, My personal opinion. Pls do not fall for these risky trading tactics. I'm in no way against trading, but cautioning you whole heartedly...and I have nothing against the original poster
In trading if you are able to beat the market with 10-20% consistency for 2-3years, the wall street banks will be at your door steps asking you to work for them with profit sharing and salary
Based on my experience of trading...
"Money is always an inch away from your finger tips, the more you run towards it , the further away it goes.... " and its a never ending story
The so called wall street is full of crooks/manipulators and what an ordinary investor thinks to be an excellent stock would be junk if the street does not favour it...How much ever you compare relative stocks with fundamentals, p/e, Financials statements, beta , volatility etc etc....
And the Buzz words for these kind of manipulations are " Shorting, Naked- Shorting, Rumor mongering, Insider Trading, Pre-after market trading"
I bet once you are in trading, you will have tremendous Mood Swings.
However if you want to understand what trading is all about , you can visit this trading education website . Its a nice set of videos about technicals.
http://www.youtube.com/user/InformedTrades?ob=1
Also if you would like to see what kind of patterns you would like to trade, then you can visit www.finviz.com
This site contains all the buy/sell signals like Double/multiple bottom, head and shoulders, wedge down, wedge up , double top etc etc.....
"Don't trade with money you can't afford to lose"
All the very best.

This is depressing at best but lets take what lifes throws at us(in this case USCIS) and turn into positive.
We should have some action items and follow through. Below I have comeup with some as starting point..
1. Prepare campaign materials, message (short and long), stories etc regarding this backlog.
2. Pass it along to media. Schedule meetings with Senators, congressmen through state chapters and educate them.
3. Volunteer in our communites as groups and spread the message and hopefully get some media attention.
4. Contribute to IV for lobbying.
5. Stay positive and don't stress too much regarding the GC.
Ideas don't cost us much but what we need now is actions.

"Some might wonder why we participated? Well, how could we give up on a chance to make history and truly understand what it means to live in a democracy. Its not about desperation for a green card, its about fairness and dignity. We believe that we have the right to a fair, open and predictable process and anything else is an affront to our dignity. We believe that the system is broken and can be changed. But change to the system will not come overnight and it will definitely not come with us keeping quiet. So we got out and did what we knew was possible - get the message out, propose solutions, meet congressmen and appeal to people's conscience.
In participating in this movement for change, we realized something else that we would like to share. We realize that the struggle for a fair immigration process is but a process of change just like struggles against oppresion and prejudice of different severities. The only difference is that its a question of dignity and fair process versus segregated facilities and disenfranchisement. Accept one and you accept the other. So if we wonder how the world could have every been a certain way in the past, we don't have to look beyond ourselves. Honest and well intentioned as we might be, if we cannot stand up and say something about something that affects our rights and freedoms as individuals, we are saying that we are OK with all that is around us.
thanks to all who offered support! if you are still on the sidelines, do get involved! Our success depends on all of us making a contribution!"
