"Yesterday, we described potential four options for the DOS and the USCIS. Unconfirmed sources indicate that the last option appears to be "out." ...."
And the last option is ....
"The fourth, which is important but difficult, option might be to change its rule to permit I-485 application, I-765 employment authorization application, and I-131 applications for the foreign workers and their spouses and children if the foreign workers have obtained the labor certification approvals."
So if this rumour is true, then no EAD's & AC21 after I-140 and before 485 :(

As I am writing, I understand there are 1900 active members and 5800 members. Even if 50% of the members bring one new member each, there will be a tremendous increase. And this can be done via internet: web and emails. Set a target (50% increase?),deadline (Oct 31st?) and have weekly count of new additions displayed prominently. Democrats did that for Howard Dean's campaign and the model has been used for subsequent elections by both the parties.. There were many new members who were asking for rallies on streets. There are others who want to send flowers, 'Remember me' cards to lawmakers. A few others wanted to put up fliers in INdian and Chinese grocery stores. Even 20% of effort to carry out those activities would fetch at least one new member per old one, then the target can be achieved.
IV core had been very voiceferous, when we needed to achieve the funding target in summer. Can they become more involved chalking out a plan to
increase membership, if that really matters? In the membership enrollment form, if there is a field asking if some old members brought the applicant in, then we would know how many old ones really care to do something. Without personal outreach and contact, the rate of new additions will never increase.
Each member has potentially minimum of two votes to spare 6 years from the day he or she gets GC. When presidential elections are decided by ~600 votes in a single voting district, even thousands of potential votes from IV community would appear to be a juicy carrot.
In my work community, there are ~100 Chinese and Indian staffers. As far as I know,my Chinese colleagues, who are more in number and most are in some stage of GC, have not heard of IV or even SKIL bill. They don't need to as all of them are EB2 and hence they are retrogressed for just over an year. Among lesser numbered Indian-origin staffers, the story is the same. On my part, I can spread the word here and breath down the shoulders of some and get them in. I am working for a non-IT non-profit establishment. Just imagine, what happens if a personal quest for new members happen in an EB3-rich IT or finance sectors?
Any suggestions for concrete plan of action? Without a plan, committment from some of us to act as catalysts and keep up the momentum this drive will not work. Bringing in at least one new member per old one is much better than rallying, sending flowers, chocalates, 'Do me a favor' cards etc.
Are we upto this?
Thanks everyone for being patient and supporting us. The work is happening at all ends and it is an uphill task.
We really need to increase our membership. Higher membership will mean us looking tall when we meet lawmakers. Please all try to help us spread the word of IV to everyone you know that is stuck in retrogression. We represent at least half million people but we currently not even have 6 thousand members. Thus we have to bring lot many people into IV. I would encourage everyone to pls. register on this forum instead of being visitors.
Pls try to help us increase our membership in your own capacity, in any way you can. This is something everyone on this forum can help us with.

There is some procedure known as Follow to Join, which might be relevant to you. I personally haven't used it nor do I know anyone who has, but try looking into that.
I found this link on IV related to the FTJ topic...

And I join the others who responded strongly recommending that you hire a good lawyer with experience working on FTJ cases...good luck to you and your wife.

I think the spirit of those who have got their Green Cards and still come can be summed up as "Fight for what is right first. Fight for our rights second."
I think those who are having a fight inside the camp do not have that spirit. That is why they can not agree on things.

Fox news and CNN are right wing media organisations who exagerate and create fear among decent American citizens. I for sure will do all my best from now on to expose this vicious campaign and even complain to organisations in the US about Lou Dobbs/Tom and their hate propaganda. CNN (Ted Turner) and Fox (Rupert Murdoch) also operate in other nations like India and we must let the Indian government (revoke their licences) and media organisations know about this.

I was just thinking, the wastage of visa numbers we see, is that basically due to the per country quota. The rule that no country can have more than X% of GC's in a year, would mean that even though there are visa's available, they cannot be alloted due to that per country limit.
Anyway the smaller number of application is good news.
-AD
The wastage is due to handicap USCIS, they dont make basic calculations for the visa numbers used per year.
To give u an example, lets say they have to give x amount of visa, they just process x number of apps and at the end of the FY some people are still struck up in other processes like Name check etc. So those numbers who are struck up, get wasted.

Lame Duck Sessions of the U.S. Congress
Once rare, now commonplace
By Robert Longley, About.com
Lame duck sessions of the U.S. Congress happen in even numbered years when Congress has to reconvene following the November general election to take care of unfinished legislation. Some lawmakers who return for this session lost their bids for reelection and will not be in the next Congress. Hence, they are informally called "lame duck" members participating in a "lame duck" session.
The possibility of lame duck sessions of Congress began in 1935, when the 20th Amendment1 to the U.S. Constitution2 took effect. Under this amendment, ratified in 1933, regular sessions of Congress begin on January 3 of each year, unless Congress passes a law in the previous session changing the date. Also, the terms of members begin and end on January 3 of odd-numbered years. Under these arrangements, any meeting of Congress between election day in an even-numbered year and the following January 3 is considered a lame duck session.
Why lame duck sessions are bad
Lame duck sessions are never desirable. Defeated lame duck lawmakers, knowing they will not have jobs in the new Congress, either tend to "just go through the motions" while debating and voting on remaining important legislation or, in worse cases, attempt to hinder or even damage the lawmaking process. On the state level, the legislatures of only 11 states even allow lame duck sessions.
By far the most dismal scenario for a lame duck session is whenever one of the two major political parties has taken away majority control of one or both houses of Congress from the other party, as happened after the 2006 mid-term election, when the Democrats won control of both the House and Senate from the Republicans. In these instances, with political tempers already running hot, the temptation for lame duck members to vent their frustrations by working to stall good bills, while turning bad bills into worse laws, becomes even greater.
Why lame duck sessions happen
Once rare, lame duck sessions have become all too common. The final days of the 109th Congress in November and December of 2006 became the 16th lame duck session since 1940.
The typical "target" date for the annual adjournment of each session of Congress is during the first week in October. The target adjournment date has become a total myth in recent years. The first session of the 109th Congress, for example, did not achieve final adjournment until Dec. 22, 2005.
During far too many recent years, the main reason for lame duck sessions has been Congress' failure to complete its work on the spending, or "appropriations" bills that form the basis of the annual federal budget. By law, the federal budget process3, including passage of the spending bills, begins the first Monday in February of each year and should be concluded by October 1st, the start of the federal government's Federal Fiscal Year. Failing to pass the spending bill by October 1, Congress is compelled to pass "continuing resolutions4," legislation that allows the government operate temporarily without an approved budget at the previous year's spending levels.
Lame duck sessions: some bad, some not so bad
Some sessions are not particularly productive, often because of political disputes and the difficulties of reaching legislative decisions in a post-election environment. In 1982 and 2002, for example, Congress returned after the November election in part to complete work on most of the spending bills. In each case, it failed to do so and the new Congress had to enact large continuing resolutions to fund government operations for the fiscal year already in progress.
Other lame duck sessions, such as the one held in 1980, have been more productive. On that occasion, Congress approved budget resolution and reconciliation measures, five regular appropriations bills and a continuing resolution, an Alaska lands bill, a landmark environmental cleanup "superfund" bill, a measure extending revenue sharing, a revision of military pay and other benefits, and a bill changing the appointment power of the Senate President pro tempore.

Correction: July 17th 2007 & July 28th 2007 - Please correct it.
Could not understand what you mean by 'these 485s are still unadjudicated'. Of-course yes, that's why the dates are moved further so that they can get adjudicated.
Again 'Once they get adjudicated there would be retrogression' what do you mean? If they all get adjudicated then what is the reason of retrogression again? Am I missing something here? May be we can take it like this, depending upon the volume of the approvals, the dates will go back, higher the approvals, lesser the retrogression.
I do not want to spoil the party fun but somewhere in my mind there is a lingering doubt. I read Ron Gotcher's post about August 2008 bulletin.

He says that Eb2 India will retrogress to 2003 or 2004.
This is my opinion. TSC 485 processing time is July 17,2008. NSC 485 processing cut off date is July 28th, 2008. I don't know if CSC is still processing 485 EB applications but CSC EB processing cut off date on its website is April 04, 2006. The priority date for June 2007 bulletin was April 1st2004.
Lot of big law firms filed 485's around August 1st because the date for filing 485's was extended to August 17th. So I think these 485's are still unadjudicated. Once they get adjudicated there would be retrogression. Analysts analyze. However the silver lining would be removal of concurrent processing of I-140 and I-485 which may give some additional EB 2 numbers next year.

What if the job i'm moving to after 180 days is hiring me permanently now itself? Do they still have to specify (in EVL for AC21) that they will hire me perm only upon getting GC?
Just specify that they intend to employ you on a permanent basis. It does not really matter whether it happens before or after you get your GC.
