Let me give you an example and you would understand my point. USCIS Customer Services Directorate received 16 million calls from the public and 300,000 from Members of Congress. Add to it, all other items people do to get attention for their case and think that by sending an email or a phone call from Senator or by a lawyer, the officer will realize his mistake and quickly open the file and approve it. If you look at the responses people post to their inquiries, you would see that most responses are standard. USCIS is not just approving 140K greencards but more than a million greencards, hundreds of thousands of H1 and other visa types, EADs etc...every year. Greencards do not get issued on the day date gets current. It is not a automatic process. There is lot of human work involved and many people do not understand that or spend time understanding it. They would rather waste their time either on useless task of tracking or calling customer service every single day.
i understand everybit you explained here but your missing human anxiousness whether it is GC or OC(no meaning) people willnot stop doing enquiry i think you might did to and being hypocritic that everyone is anxious about doing so the explaination looks like your working in uscis customer care and taking care of all this everyone knows that uscis doesnot only deals GC and not only we are calling them
take it easy brother

No doubt Emirates is the one of the best airline One problem flying through middle-east is that you may be taken in for secondary inspection. Happened with my friend twice when he flew Kuwait. Never happened with other Airlines. My experience flying KLM,Lufthansa, Swiss is been the best.

AMY GOODMAN: OK, Lou, let�s talk about some of the guests you�ve had on your show.
LOU DOBBS: Sure.
AMY GOODMAN: For example, Barbara Coe, leader of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform,�
LOU DOBBS: She�s not a guest. You�re reading from the Southern Poverty Law Center�
AMY GOODMAN: �quoted�just one second�
LOU DOBBS: She was not a guest.
AMY GOODMAN: I am going to look at the�as you said, you actually felt that the Southern Poverty Law Center was so important�
LOU DOBBS: It�s a joke.
AMY GOODMAN: �in getting information�
LOU DOBBS: It�s a joke.
AMY GOODMAN: �that you sent your producers down there to get information so that you wouldn�t represent hate groups on the air.
LOU DOBBS: In their responses, they�re nothing but a fundraising organization�
AMY GOODMAN: So let me�
LOU DOBBS: �and they�re indulging in pure BS.
AMY GOODMAN: OK. Now, let me just�
LOU DOBBS: And so are you, when you quote them.
AMY GOODMAN: Let me just talk about some of the guests that you have had on�
LOU DOBBS: Sure. They�re not guests.
AMY GOODMAN: �or quoted on the show.
LOU DOBBS: Barbara Coe was never a guest.
AMY GOODMAN: No. She was quoted on the show�
LOU DOBBS: That�s different.
AMY GOODMAN: �bitterly attacking Home Depot for betraying Americans, apparently because Hispanic day laborers often gather in front of the store looking for work. Not mentioned were her group, listed by the Southern Poverty Leadership Council as a hate group, or the fact that she routinely refers to Mexicans as �savages.� Coe recently described herself as a member of the Council of Conservative Citizens, the white pride group formed from the remnants�
LOU DOBBS: What year was that?
AMY GOODMAN: �of the segregationist White Citizens� Council of the �50s and �60s,�
LOU DOBBS: What year was she�
AMY GOODMAN: �which Thurgood Marshall called the �Uptown Klan.�
LOU DOBBS: My god, Amy, what year was that on our broadcast? What year?
AMY GOODMAN: Not clear. You can tell me what year was it on your broadcast.
LOU DOBBS: Well, actually, I can, but it was years ago. And it was before we knew what the heck was going on.
AMY GOODMAN: I�m going to talk about a few other people.
LOU DOBBS: Sure.
AMY GOODMAN: Glenn Spencer, head of the anti-immigration American Patrol, has been interviewed at least twice on the show in 2004, maybe many more times after�I don�t know. Spencer�s website is jammed with anti-Mexican vitriol. He pushes the idea the Mexican government is involved in a secret plot to take over the Southwest�
LOU DOBBS: OK.
AMY GOODMAN: �facts never mentioned on your show. His group is regarded as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League.
LOU DOBBS: You know, well, I really don�t care what�
AMY GOODMAN: Spencer has spoken at least twice to the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens.
LOU DOBBS: You know, I got to be honest with you. I have no knowledge of this fellow. I have no idea�and you�re not telling me when he was on the broadcast.
AMY GOODMAN: You had him on the show. I said�
LOU DOBBS: No, I did not have him on the show. He was quoted�
AMY GOODMAN: January 7th�
LOU DOBBS: He was either quoted in a piece�
AMY GOODMAN: No, no, no. No, no, Lou. On January 7, 2004, and June 4, 2004�
LOU DOBBS: Ah!
AMY GOODMAN: �he was interviewed on your broadcast.
LOU DOBBS: He was not on our broadcast. He may have been in a field report. He was not on our broadcast. And, Amy, let me ask you a question: have you checked to see how many guests we�ve had on our show in the course of�what is that?�
AMY GOODMAN: You have had many.
LOU DOBBS: �three-and-a-half years? No, I mean�
AMY GOODMAN: You have had many.
LOU DOBBS: �let�s get a number. What do you think? Why are you focusing on two or three?
AMY GOODMAN: I can go on and on.
LOU DOBBS: OK, keep going. How many?
AMY GOODMAN: But I think the important point here�
LOU DOBBS: Give us a total. Give us a total of the number of guests you object to.
AMY GOODMAN: Lou, I just want to say something here. You just said to Juan, can�t he take a joke, when you talk about the incursion, Mexico taking over the United States. Yet, it is a growing theme. It is a continuing thread in your broadcast. This guy, Glenn Spencer, whether he said this on your show or not, Dobbs has not�
LOU DOBBS: Oh, no, no.
AMY GOODMAN: Just one second�has not mentioned his ties to American�
LOU DOBBS: Now I�m supposed to be�
AMY GOODMAN: Yes, you have to know who�
LOU DOBBS: I�m supposed to be responsible for what he says off my broadcast?
AMY GOODMAN: No. You should know that he was tied to American Renaissance, the group that says blacks are genetically inferior to whites. You didn�t report those ties or mention Spencer�s�
LOU DOBBS: Do you think we knew it?
AMY GOODMAN: �more wild-eyed contentions�
LOU DOBBS: Do you think we knew it?
AMY GOODMAN: �such as his�
LOU DOBBS: Amy, do you really think we knew it?
AMY GOODMAN: Just listen to this�such as his prediction�
LOU DOBBS: Do you really believe we knew that?
AMY GOODMAN: �that thousands will die in a supposedly forthcoming Mexican invasion.
LOU DOBBS: Oh, come on! You�re giving Glenn Spencer and other detestable people who would make such comments about more air time than anybody.
AMY GOODMAN: Well, Lou�
LOU DOBBS: You have just given him more air�
AMY GOODMAN: But, Lou�
LOU DOBBS: �than I would have ever, and I�
AMY GOODMAN: But, Lou, let me make a final point.
LOU DOBBS: Go back and look at the quotes.
AMY GOODMAN: Let me make a final point.
LOU DOBBS: Who�s giving him more air time? You.
AMY GOODMAN: Your colleague, Wolf Blitzer�
LOU DOBBS: Yeah?
AMY GOODMAN: �on the other hand, also featured Spencer on his own show, but reported Mexico�s official response that SPLC, Southern Poverty Leadership Council�s hate group designation, said that he was a member of a hate group, as designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center. So we�re not�
LOU DOBBS: What year was that?
AMY GOODMAN: What I�m saying is that Wolf�
LOU DOBBS: What year was Wolf Blitzer?
AMY GOODMAN: �Blitzer identified him; you did not.
LOU DOBBS: What year? What year?
AMY GOODMAN: Well, I just know when you had him on your show, and you may have had him on since then.
LOU DOBBS: But do you know when Wolf Blitzer had him on?
AMY GOODMAN: Well, soon after that, I suppose. I don�t know.
LOU DOBBS: OK. After we found out that there was a problem.
AMY GOODMAN: But you know what the fact is? I don�t know. And I admit when I don�t know. And I try to get my facts straight.
LOU DOBBS: Sure. Sure. So do we.

I dont think there is any issue with the way CIS allocates Visa. They clearly have specific definition and reservation when it comes to VISA categories. If you look in that aspect, EB1 comes first then EB2 and EB3. But this is very specific to VISA Category and does not mean the individuals. So If some one, who qualifies for EB2, but for some reason, he applies for Visa under EB3, it is not the fault of the system, it is the fault of the Individual. This includes me, since Iam May 2003, EB3-I. I do qualify for EB2. So I cant crib. If i want, I can change company and file EB2, for which I think, I am qualified or not apply under EB3 knowing the consequences until I find some one who can file my GC in EB2. When I file my GC under EB3, then in true terms, Iam degrading my self and i should face the consequences. Does it not make sense. So, I suggest work towards the immigration bill and try to make calls to get HR.5882 passed, Otherwise, I dont see any future for EB3. May be EB2 is better than EB3 in true definition, but that does not mean EB2 folks are better in anyway than EB3 folks. Hope u all agree.

Its not that I think I am smarter or have any additional insight...but I take things at face value. Of course the total number of pending cases in the chart and in the PDF should match - they both are exactly what they say they are "PENDING EMPLOYMENT BASED I-485 cases" If that's what the report title says, that's exactly what it means. No point in over-analyzing if this is just for pre-adjudicated or only primary applications etc....
I say stupid questions because people still ask "Does the PDF report contain numbers for dependents or only for primary applicants" - so you are telling me that this is not clear from the PDF report??
Illinois-alum I don't have anything against you. I just objected to your language.
As far as your clarity on dependent question goes, it may not be clear to someone very new to the process. So their question might be valid. Nothing wrong in this.
And on over-analysis, I don't think that's the case. We still don't have clear answer on discrepancy.

Thanks ndialani.
I raised an SR on 8/25/2009. I got a response that my "case was being actively processed, allow 60 days for a decision to be made". I kept calling uscis, every CSR told me the same thing "wait until Oct 25, and then raise another SR". I got the CPO email on 10/22.
As I mentioed in the previous posts, though I tried Senator, Ombudsman, calls thru my lawyer, I beleive that SR is the one that makes the IOs take a case out of a whole bunch and keeps it in the queue for approval.

Everyone makes a mistake. That does not mean they would not have any after effects. They will.
Congress have a bigger issue on their plate right now. That is Iraq. I am pretty sure Congress would take up this issue in near future. Make your voice heard to Congress. Then pray to God/Almighty.
We have congress "helping us out" by doing WHAT exactly?? So far we have exactly ONE congresswoman who made a statement. After that no one has even BOTHERED to do anything.
It may be bad publicity for the USCIS, but guess what? NO ONE GIVES A S**T. The USCIS is an INDEPENDANT body and it made a MISTAKE. Everyone makes mistakes, remember?

May I ask your immigration status. I believe you already got your GC and roaming around here just beat shit out of others. Each and every of your post is convincing me in that direction only. You would be happy to see the H1 guys thrown out from here. So it will increase your demand and you can make more money. What kind of person you are. is there any difference between you and anti-immigrant. Or are you that coming with Indian name to make fool out of us.
If you dont believe me, you read all your posts again. You are always talking about banning desi consultant. You are more than welcome for that. But you did you even thought about a second for guys who are genuine and unfortunate to work for them.
People are already stressed out. If you got your GC please go-away and enjoy your freedom.
senthil1 is one of those who is "shut the door behind you" kinds folks. He has been consistent on his stand and he wants to side anti immigrants. He is a disgrace and shame to your community. I had a feeling that sometime back he was 'reformed criminal" but does not seem so anymore.

On FEb 4th my wife and myself went for H1-B visa renewal interview at Chennai Consulate. Both visas got approved. My wife passport was returned with in 3 days. It seems they have found her petitition online. My passport stuck with consulate. I called consulate today, and they have asked me to call back next week end. She said they were not able to locate my petition online.
How long it can take? 1 week or 2 weeks or 1 month? Please provide your experiences for those passports took more than 3 days. I have seen max 1 month in the forum.

PRECISELY My point. First it is IRAQ, then it will be the Presidential Elections then something else. The Government has NO time to question the USCIS and NO real motivation either.

Hey guys
I was a mostly passive observer during the S 1932 battle, and really admire all of your perseverance. I think all of you did very well with the limited time and zero funds that you had. A little bit about myself: I am a physician from India currently doing medical research here. I am currently busy interviewing for the medical residency Match 2006 (for those of you who know or care) and therefore will not be able to spend as much time here as I would like. I myself am not a GC applicant yet but am extremely interested in the cause you guys are taking up and want to see this thing being worked through. I believe our demands are just and fair, and perfectly in line with the American tradition of fairness. Our demands are just waiting to be intelligently articulated and brought to wider public attention, and will resonate well with all lawmakers irrespective of ideology. We will have to be careful about distinguishing our requirements from competing and confusing interests like illegal aliens, security issues and even H1B visa seekers.
No American, from the most socially conservative Republican to the scared-about-job-loss Democrat will grudge a legal immigrant -who has played by all the rules all the time and pays all taxes- to reduce his immigration wait period from 7 years to 2 years! We have to play on this sense of American fairness (which exists btw to those who are skeptical) and spread the news about our legit demands (and indeed our existence) to the wider American audience. We have to carry this issue from the arena of policy debate to the personal - tell Americans how it feels like for spouses to waste their time and hope, to not be able to buy a home or plan any kind of life beyond the wait period for the green card. We have to tell them that we are not just potentially controversial legislation, but real people, with dreams, hopes, fears and sensitivities- just like them. After all, we are a significant number among their physicians and software engineers, scientists and nurses, professors and graduate students.
But we should present these facts well to our audience, and not let communication glitches convert a no-brainer into a close contest. We should not let bad English or an unprofessional approach towards lawmakers/ media feed into stereotypes of “cheap labor” class peddled by the anti-immigrant groups. We have to be savvy and creative about our PR. We have to collect funds and organize the enormous mass of people affected by this issue. Among other things, we have to be politically sensitive and not pass judgments on illegal aliens or protectionist Democrats or anti-immigrant groups in our dialogue amongst ourselves or with others.
I am aware all of this is tall order, but if we can manage this, I think America will give us what we ask for inside of 6 months. I will contribute as much as I can, as will be allowed by my current pressured situation ; ) Like many others here, I can put forth ideas and suggestions. I think I am politically aware and because I (used to) closely follow the general political media, I will probably be able to provide the American perspective on things, which again many others here regularly do.
Thanks for your time and may 2006 have the very best for us!

I am currently busy interviewing for the medical residency Match 2006 (for those of you who know or care) and therefore will not be able to spend as much time here as I would like. I myself am not a GC applicant yet but am extremely interested in the cause you guys are taking up and want to see this thing being worked through. I believe our demands are just and fair, and perfectly in line with the American tradition of fairness. Our demands are just waiting to be intelligently articulated and brought to wider public attention, and will resonate well with all lawmakers irrespective of ideology. We will have to be careful about distinguishing our requirements from competing and confusing interests like illegal aliens, security issues and even H1B visa seekers.
No American, from the most socially conservative Republican to the scared-about-job-loss Democrat will grudge a legal immigrant -who has played by all the rules all the time and pays all taxes- to reduce his immigration wait period from 7 years to 2 years! We have to play on this sense of American fairness (which exists btw to those who are skeptical) and spread the news about our legit demands (and indeed our existence) to the wider American audience. We have to carry this issue from the arena of policy debate to the personal - tell Americans how it feels like for spouses to waste their time and hope, to not be able to buy a home or plan any kind of life beyond the wait period for the green card. We have to tell them that we are not just potentially controversial legislation, but real people, with dreams, hopes, fears and sensitivities- just like them. After all, we are a significant number among their physicians and software engineers, scientists and nurses, professors and graduate students.
But we should present these facts well to our audience, and not let communication glitches convert a no-brainer into a close contest. We should not let bad English or an unprofessional approach towards lawmakers/ media feed into stereotypes of “cheap labor” class peddled by the anti-immigrant groups. We have to be savvy and creative about our PR. We have to collect funds and organize the enormous mass of people affected by this issue. Among other things, we have to be politically sensitive and not pass judgments on illegal aliens or protectionist Democrats or anti-immigrant groups in our dialogue amongst ourselves or with others.
I am aware all of this is tall order, but if we can manage this, I think America will give us what we ask for inside of 6 months. I will contribute as much as I can, as will be allowed by my current pressured situation ; ) Like many others here, I can put forth ideas and suggestions. I think I am politically aware and because I (used to) closely follow the general political media, I will probably be able to provide the American perspective on things, which again many others here regularly do.
Thanks for your time and may 2006 have the very best for us!

I have similar experience. I moved to sunrocket (which is now teleblend) from vonage. I pay half of what I used to pay vonage for same services/usage.
currently teleblend offers $50 unlimited india calling + ofcourse US+canada unlimited. However as now vonage has come up with $25 world plan, I am sure teleblend would come up with something similar soon... may be $20 world plan or so. As they always price it below vonage. Let's hope! competition is good for consumer.
I also had Teleblend world...but I removed the unlimited world as it was $35. Lets see they might come up with something like this.

Will you guys stop this madness atleast now?. If US started bending rules for people who send flowers, then everyone will try to manipulate the system. There is a lot of difference between the circumstances of originla gandhigiri and now. :rolleyes: That was our country back then, for crying out loud.We are in a foriegn country and the issuance of visa a previlege not a right.Why cant you guys understand this simple fact?. Now stop making fools of yourself and get a life.
That USCIS director gave a good answer. Is your pain more than those citizens of this country who gave their limbs and life for US?. :eek:
BTW, i am one of the guys who couldn't file I-485 because of this fiasco. But i understand the reality.:)
Kindly realize that we know full well that flowers dont change laws and regulations. If that were case, Microsoft would have drowned DC with roses to get H1 quota increase.
We are not stupid. But the flower campaign does have a purpose bigger than 485 filing. Its called media attention. Now kindly stop complaining, trust IV leadership that has run this org successfully for past 18 months, and please help us by doing your part.
