    I am sure you have already tried this, but is renting it out not a good option? Even if you rent it out for half the price than your current monthly mortgage amount and if you get a salary hike of approx that much difference, won't it be better? For e.g., let's say you are paying $2000 monthly mortgage payment and you rent it out for $1000, the difference is $12000 per year (out of your pocket) - would this be approx. equal to the amount of salary increase you are getting if you get a new job?

    Thanks for the feedback so far from people on this group.
    Answering to the question about making bad decision and having a good job..well it is not my bad decision that has brought down the whole market but the banks and stupid people who took loan and didnt knew the consequences of ARM loans and then started filing for foreclosure.. because of those foreclosures the property rates have went down and i cannot get what i paid for the house.
    if this whole mess was not there then anyone can find a good job and sell his house, if not profit then atleast with no loss..

    i hope u got my point..

    Guys,

    EB2 guys( those who do not want to support EB3)::
    What will you do, in EB3 shoes, if the numbers are not moving in 2-3 months. You got it. MOst of them will change to EB2, right. I will too. I am sure you can imagine the scene then. I know 8 of my 15 friends have already jumped to EB2. And I am sure they have much higher priority date than most of EB2s there. So you know what to expect. Lets ALL support for the common cause.
    Sri.

    I understand the frustration. Until two months back my PD was retro. Now, I already have my GC on my EB2-NIW I-140 and also had an approved EB1-OR I-140 recently. I am not here to suggest anyone shouldn't do what they think is best for them.

    My own understanding of the law is that EB1 gets the left over EB5, EB2 gets the unused numbers from EB1 and the EB5 that went into EB1 but unused. EB3 gets the unused numbers from EB2 and those from EB1+EB5 unused by EB2. This maintains the preference categories (USCIS's definition, I am not saying EB2 is better than EB3).

    No matter how the numbers are distributed, there is more demand than supply. It is unlikely all the unused EB1 and EB2 ROW numbers would fall to EB3 ROW and then to EB3-C/I. Some would surely go to EB2-C/I. Right now everyone is retro except EB1 and EB2 ROW. So, redistribution doesn't fix the problem just redistributes the retrogression.

    If we can get the recapture and elimination of country ceiling then everybody benefits. The fact that we have an immigration bill is in itself quite something.

    No matter how USCIS or DOS allocates the numbers, there will be backlog and its in everyone's interest whether C/I or ROW to think about pushing for the immigration reform bills.

    Great!

    This is useful for those who want to send their packet using private service providers such as FedEx.

    Ams

    I think this what uscis says

    NOTE: If using overnight delivery by any private service provider, send your package to:

    USCIS

    Nebraska Service Center

    850 S Street

    P.O. Box (Insert Correct P.O. Box Number)

    Lincoln, NE 68508

    Be sure to include the appropriate P.O. Box number on the shipping label

    Sorry, Editing my post:

    This doesn't seem all that useful since you don't have the post box number in there.
    Hey, quit playing games with me this time of the night :)

    I am planning to go to the USCIS office tomorrow for media coverage. Any one in the DC area willing to join? This would be between 10 am and 1 pm. send me a pm with your name, number for more info. I really want to hear from the people who were ready for the protest in DC. This is a good opportunity to explain what has happened and the root cause of the issue.

    I am planning to be there little after 11 AM with Flowers. hey, how about getting a car full of flowers delivering by our own hands? Now that I am thinking about it, in stead of people sending $32 online we should have bought the flowers locally (using paypal). Is it too late?

    This is just a message to 2005/2006/2007 PD guys. Please don't think that some miracle will happen and dates will be current soon, it will take its own time. Mostly for EB2 & EB3June 2006- June 2007 guys, it will be like a lottery if the PD becomes current somewhere in 2007 Oct-Nov time. Right??
    So life is not always easy. There are people waiting since 2002-03-04.
    Don't think that life is not a FIFO always.

    Why some of the guys became violent when I said, INDIA IS GREAT???
    Guys.. do you know why I always feel like this???

    As my parents,in laws and most of my relatives stay there. Not only mine, allmost all guys who are in the IV, they must have parents and relatives in India for sure. There is no other reason why I said India is great.

    Someone asked me to pack up... YES, I will if nothing happens;however, I will be waiting to see the progress for sure. This is July. Let's have a look over OCT bulletin after 2 months and for sure dates will move atleast 4-6 months for EB2 guys and 1 year for EB3 guys. So wait, be patient, instead of doing all this.
    Anyway, our turn will come sooner or later, so why to become impatient just seeing the JULY bulletin CURRENT and then "U".

    Mainly this is the message for 2005-2006-2007 PD guys. Please don't take it otherwise.

    In the name of thinking differently we have smitha, senthil1 , asdqwe..and these guys confusing this struggle / fight for us trying to get ahead of the line or as senthil1 keeps saying uscis/dos made an honest mistake and asdqwe..keeps saying we need to fight for legislation rather than wasting time with these efforts. What all these guys and their ilk fail to understand is most of us are pissed off about the way it was implemented and handled rather than the ability to file AOS itself. If we sit and do nothing is like asking uscis / dos to walk all over us again and again. Besides in US law whenever there is a gray area, the decisions are based on precedents. This means if they have done this now means they can do this in any bulletin hence issued. They can issue a bulletin in Oct 2007 and on Nov 2 say "oops sorry my bad wrong bulletin" . Please come out of the basement and face the sun.

    Let's file a lawsuit against whoever started this system..LOL

    On a more serious note, Can I port my red dots to green ones after i have been in reds for like a month? I won't be surprised if someone actually starts a thread with this kinda issue here.

    :D:D:D

    Yes you can port it using AC21. IV will need to issue a new memo for it though. But your designation should be same. If you are a junior member, you need to post only as a junior member on IV forums.

    Its your choice.

    You must be from another world.
    washingtonpost, nytimes, yahoo etc covered this already.
    Even USCIS has posted a note on its website. Wake up.
    This campaign was a huge success and still giving dividends.

    I don't know what do you mean by success. as far as media coverage is concerned, Fireign media (India, China or elsewhere) doesn't help. It's local media, which can create some usefull awareness. How does awareness in a different country helps?? I don't know why even people talking coverage about foreig media?????

    Sometime back.. I also read some comment talking about involving Indian govt. in this.... Bullshit.. What does a different country's govt has to do with it!!!

    Point is.. don't get too excited for having done nothing... Do something substantial and keep doing.

    I agree what you said but why the heck the USCIS make my life restless for 2 weeks. i spent 5000 dollors for nothing... that is what we are asking for not to go ahead of people with older priority dates

    Dear XXXXXX XXXXX,

    As per our recent emails, thank you for agreeing to decrease your usage. Please note that your account will continue to be monitored for usage for 7 days and that you can track your minutes (combined domestic & international) from your Online Account under the Monthly Usage Summary in the Billing section. Should we see that the usage continues to be inconsistent with normal use, we would then have to take action on the account. For more information, please refer to our Terms of Service section 5.4. 5.4 Inconsistent with Normal Use. If you use the service or the device in a way that is inconsistent with the normal use for your service or plan, you will be required, at Vonage's sole discretion, to pay the rates for the service or plan that would apply to the way you used the service or device, or terminate the plan. For example, if you subscribe to one of our residential service plans, and your usage is inconsistent with normal residential use, you may thereafter be required to pay our applicable, higher rates for commercial service for all periods in which your use of our service or the device was inconsistent with normal residential use.

Lack of continuous dialog activity, unusual call patterns, excessive numbers and/or consistent excessive usage (i.e., More than 5,000 minutes per line per month for unlimited residential calling and/or more than 10,000 minutes per line per month for unlimited small business calling), will be considered indicators that use may be inconsistent with normal use, or that impermissible use may be occurring and may trigger an account review by us. The creation or use of related multiple accounts or excessive residential lines to circumvent these levels shall also be considered indicators that use of the service may be inconsistent with normal use for the subscribed monthly plan(s) and may trigger an account review by Vonage. Failure to contact Vonage in response to its notifications and/or failure to promptly correct usage activity to conform to normal use will result, in Vonage's sole discretion, in immediate mandatory transfer to another appropriate plan, suspension or termination of service. You acknowledge that if your service is terminated under this provision, you are subject to all applicable disconnection and device or other rebate recovery charges.

    my lawyer's office just called me saying they would want to file ASAP, for which they want my signatures tomorrow. I met her an hour ago, when she was saying things like "hopefully by next week".

    So whether or not this is a rumour, it sure has clicked the panic button for lawyers too!

    If this is true, it is unimaginably bad. (Personally I still think it won't happen till end of July.)

    It may true ....if that was reported in aila.org means all lawers will be in Panic now ....

    We are a husband and wife, both filing.
    My priority date is Oct 06 and my wife's will be July 1st. (or so.)

    My wife's company is a large multinational and her job is secure. My company is small and not making oodles of money right now.

    So I consider my wife's to be solid and slow and mine to be less solid but faster.

    I predict that mine will get approved before hers and they'll drop hers. But because I simply do not trust USCIS to process them without a hitch, we're filing twice. Shotgun theory.

    Our lawyers seem to concur. If our PDs were the same and our companies were similar, it probably wouldn't be worth filing twice.

    My question is regarding the EADs and APs. I believe that I should file through her because they are more "solid" applications. I assume that the EAD/AP will be processed prior to the 485 and priority date does not affect them. Her job is more secure than mine and so her EAD would be too..

    Am I wrong?

    The real question is whether 2 files is ok with USCIS. Lawyers are giving different opinion on whether u can do it or not.

    If u can file 2 sets, then do ead/ap on one.

    SoP,

    Good. Initial Review can jump to CPO as it is literally a matter of 15mins for the Adjudication Officer to approve the case!

    Up until last year till the pre-adjudication was restarted, almost all cases were first look to approval.

    Your router may have the problem.
    You need to buy a good router. Your phone is good with long range.

    WiFi is 2.4 GHZ.

    5.8 GHZ phone will have many disadvantages.

    The BEST choice for cordless phone for range, and lack of interfearance is a DECT phone.. the 1.9Ghz range is a licenced radio frequency for the exclusive use of cordless phones, unlike any other cordless phone frequency (900Mhz, 2.4Ghz, 5.8Ghz.) and as it is lower in frequency (aside from 900 Mhz) it operates with the furthest distance than any cordless phone.

    Aah - okay, I stand corrected. I did not know DECT phones run on 1.9 GHz.

    Anyway - both the links I provided are DECT phones. So they should still be good if you are in the market for a phone :-)...

    That sounds about right and realistic. On the other hand I think the movement will be more. I mean if DOS just moves the dates by 4 months after making such a big announcement ...WTH??
    And I thought DOS is gonna move the dates by ONE year into June 2007...ha ha ha...

    Absolutely, the chances for movement to June 2007 is bright but not in May. One of the old models did predict August 2007 by Sep 2011. And then it was noticed that EB3 porting was not properly accounted for in the equation (only 150 per month was accounted). Thereafter, it was stated that Eb3 -> 2 porting is at least 500/m (which I thought was quite a bit). This burden in the model dragged Aug'07 predicted movement date to Nov'06. Now that 12000 EB1 spillover is being claimed, this would account for and balance even 1000/m Eb3->2 porting. Therefore an August 2007 PD by Sep'11 is a good possibility. But the visa bulletin has it's own brains.
