Is USCIS following any pattern while approving I485 cases when the dates are current?.
Nothing in particular. Some patterns which were discussed here were mere coincedence.

Ok...the way I see this is 5000min/month at $25 (not adding taxes) is 5 cents a minutes...that is more than what I pay for my calling cards....bottom line....if your monthly calling bill is less than $ 25 there is no reason why you should get Vonage.
I think your calculation is wrong. 5000mins at $25 is less than a cent for min. Also you should include local phone which we pay minimum $17/month (I think teleblend is cheap I found is 15.99 + tax = 17 per month)

I think the blood drive is a great idea...draws media attention and serves a just cause!!!
Calling IV leadership to organize this all across the country!!!
What you guys are talking about ... Walter reed is the best place for the flowers to go, with all what is going on in there ... the media will eat this news . DO not Cancel whatever you Do do not cancel instead call the media and let them know........... This is even better.
Can we do a blood drive next as protest! seriously. Donate blood as protest and for media attention.

Gurus and "New" Permanent Residents,
Did any one send a streamline email to NSC and did any get a better response then the "automatic script" response that you get from NSC?
If you did get a positive response then can you share on what exactly you had in the content of the email?
Thanks.

First let me state that I need people like you to proceed and hence I will be happy to answer the points you rasied to the best of my ability:
We all agree that there is severe backlog. Only way the backlog will alleviate is by increasing visa numbers, which not going to happen any time sooner.
So some people (and I know around 10 of them) what they are doing is the following:
They got the chance to file their 485 last July , which is pending. They are now contacting several small desi consulting firms to file for their fresh labor in EB2 category. Once their labor is filled and new I-140 is approved, they plan to attach new I-140 to the original 485 and hence effectively convering to Eb2 category but with priority dates in 2002 and 2003 (because original I-140 had that priority). Worst, they would never join that desi consulting firm...
This how the system is being gamed. If I know 10 such cases, I am sure there must be thousand like that.Now you tell me , isn't that unfair to the people already in Eb2 line as well as the ones who do not know how to game the system
By the way: If any one is interested, I know of three such consulting firms that can do for you for a fee.
First: I appreciate that you have not lost your cool yet despite all the opposition and rude posts against you. Rollingflood on the other hand does not share those qualities with you well. We will not close the thread as long as the discussion remains civil.
While I personally do not support the lawsuit idea because it divides the community in two parts and there are better ways to help the community. You can try to help positively for the greater good for everyone or run a negative campaign that will help some but hurt others who are also like you and are genuinely following the law. I also think it will be expensive and may not have a lifeline. As IV members we need to all work together to fix the system. This was the basis of founding IV. The aim was never to look after our own selfish interests and hurt others who are like us. We never discriminated between different EB categories or country of chargeability. The intent of our fight is not to deny others their greencards and get ours first, but to allow everyone get their greencards. The intent is to have the system be efficient and work the way it was intended. IV core team has never made action items or ask lists in campaigns to suit their own selfish needs.
Now in this post you have raised a serious issue. If a fraud is going on, do collect evidence and file a complaint against it. If consulting companies are making money by gaming the system, drag those companies in your complaint. Help punish such people who are gaming the system. IV community will appreciate that.
There is some wisdom needed here to draw a line between selfishness and working with honest intentions to clean up the system.

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!

All,
Pls have one or two brief explanations of our plight and solution ideas on chage.gov to be voted by all in the community.
i have received this email from change.gov, and believe that the new administration can bring change for us:
{We wanted to tell you about a new feature on Change.gov which lets you bring your ideas directly to the President.
It's called the Citizen's Briefing Book, and it's an online forum where you can share your ideas, and rate or offer comments on the ideas of others.
The best-rated ones will rise to the top, and after the Inauguration, we'll print them out and gather them into a binder like the ones the President receives every day from experts and advisors. If you participate, your idea could be included in the Citizen's Briefing Book to be delivered to President Obama. }
