"This organization is headed by most incompetant people who doesn't have any clue of Management, I guess they should go back to school..."
Very big statement.
There are problem with the USCIS that is affecting everyone in this forum but saying they are incompetent and don't have clue of management is a very big statement.
In this era of IT, USCIS keeps crying about being bombarded suddenly with this application that applications. I wonder such a big agency doesn't have projections etc. When you Adjudicated millions of Green cards lin 2002-2003 than obviously you are going to get bombarded with Application for Citizenship in 2007 you weren't prepared for that ??? This organization is headed by most incompetant people who doesn't have any clue of Management, I guess they should go back to school...

Please contact me, PM or post, if you are willing to be interviewed for a news story on this. You should be a professional in the San Jose / Bay area, although anyone in California should contact me. I will forward your information to the reporter.
On a related note, I have gone through the laws and regulations and the SSA is required to provide SSN for valid non-work purposes. I have compiled an extensive argument to support this case and I am currently in the process of getting the SSA to recognize the stimulus payment as a valid reason as required by the Social Security Act. If my petition is successful, it will set a precedent for others affected by the ITIN rule.
Also, you are not a nonresident if you live in the USA. According to one of the replies I received from the SSA.
"Under the IRC, therefore, an alien who is a nonresident for immigration purposes (i.e., not admitted for permanent residence) may be treated as a resident for tax purposes, if he meets the substantial presence test. Therefore, he could be eligible for the tax credit. However, he may not be eligible for a SSN if he wants one solely for the tax credit."
I disagree with the last sentence and I am currently beginning the appeals process. I am willing to share the regulations and laws that support my case but I am wondering how to best share this information with others who may also want to get involved.

you might want to contact the indian community that donated to Hillary and inform them with her vote against immigrants. they need to write her a letter asking for answers. she has to know that legal immigrants have supports from their communities like this community that donated money ($2M is a lot of money and should have a word for it)
we have to write to senators ( Democrats especially) as a group and ask why they voted against legal immigrants. let show them that we are following what going on and we are aware of their actions against us.
let setup a web fax to send them as a group.
can someone write a letter to protest their votes against legal immigrants and then we can send it as a web fax.
Indian community gave 2 million dollars in fund raising to her this month and she forgets all that. Don't contribute a dime to narrow minded people like these. It is like a slap in the face for the community

I was hoping to get people to start their monthly contribution, but it seems people are more inclined to make one time contribution. So I have added this to the start of the thread.
>>For every $100 one time contribution by first time contributors I will match $25.00. <<
So people with their fingers on the trigger, who don't want to commit long term, here is your chance. Please allow me to help you squeeze the trigger and fire your first shot.
I already have Struggle and green_world. Just need 2 new first time $100 contributors to make my next $100 contribution.
Committments in life do make people nervous, but in this case i am surprised
what else will it take.
Come on guys, this is best deal of century. Make some contribution.
Once again, Great going Milind
Hats off to you friend.

Yes, we should. What is going on is a major screwup. I wonder why it is allowed to continue that way.
no....if u hae been around long enough u know this is how USCIs works...with no regard for Rules...as they are not working for a VOTE BANK.....
Last year therer was the July VB fiasco..Thisyear its this...no surprises at all...they dont want to follow process...coz OMG that will need effort...just approve those whose files u can lay hands on.....with utter disregard for PDs....

This seems very unfair to people who had earlier PDs (2004 & 2005) and who have waited so many years to file. Now, people with PDs in 2007 will jump ahead of them in the queue just because of this fiasco, juts because they filed earlier. :confused:
Talk about earlier PD's. Mine is March, 2002!! It would be disheartning to see people with PD's of 2004/2005 getting a visa number because they got the receipt number a couple of days before I did while I waited for all these years for the visa bulletin dates to move!!
And I bet that there are people from 2002/2003 still stuck at BEC's who might get labor and I-140 approved in a few months to find out they are at the end of the queue and would have to wait few more years because the dates might retrogress!!
I wish the USCIS would sort all applications by PD after August, 17th. But looking at their "Processing times" page, they seem to go by the receipt dates:
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=NSC

That is what my law firm told me. Just an FYI.. I did file my I485 in june. Today I called the law firm to check whether they got my Receipt number. That is when I was told this. I wish that is true. Usually they give accurate info. They even told me that July VB will be revised (within 10 days after the release.) So I wish this time also this becomes true so every one can be benifited.
When you come with such statement please give source?

Filed AP on Aug-8-2007. Today received email from CRIS saying that Documents have been mailed. Hope you all will get soon.
There appears to be a big time gap between the date one receives the USCIS email and the date the documents are actually delivered.

With this model can IV still claim to be a non-profit organization? It seems you are exchanging information in return of cold hard cash? :p
Being a non-profit does not mean everything is free. Even some of our profession's organizations are non-profits and they want subscription to even login to their site. We are being very generous and providing everything for free and we will continue to do so to provide free access to immigrants on our site. Only a small donor area is for donors so that such members can have easy access to information and admins.

Please take any news/info from thereps with a pinch of salt..
I called and the guy swore that premium processing for I140s was discontinued from May 13 2007..
Another time the guy just read the information which was avlaible online...
third time, I got the number for Premium processing center which of course was incorrect.
These reps are high school grads,, so dont expect too much...:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

We stood in the backlog queue. 3 years. 4 years. Now, we are standing in the I-485 adjustment of status (to apply) queue.
Neither the USCIS nor anyone else have real hard numbers of how many are in each in queue. So, what makes you think that you will NOT be stranded again, like us, in the latter queue. Let me tell you; things are not pretty. PERM has eased or will ease LCs and backlogs. The attempt at IV will help folks affected by retrogression take less years to apply for I-485.
Easing retrogression helps some, but not may of us who are stuck at back log centeres
