Clouds appear,
and give people a chance to rest,
from looking at the moon.
Think of the case status website as the moon, and this little distraction of a poetry session as clouds.
This one is from the famous Japanese Haiku master Matsuo Basho. Hope it mollifies all those who complain that this site is becoming too India-centric.

By March 2007, and using that same calculation, USCIS had a backlog of 1,275,795. (page 11)
In last year’s annual report (at pp. 6-11), the Ombudsman analyzed USCIS’ redefinition of its backlog. That analysis is not repeated here, as the backlog redefinition is unchanged. The current definition continues to consider “backlogged” only the cases pending after subtracting those cases not yet ripe for adjudication, “where even if the application or petition were approved today, a benefit could not be conferred for months or years to come.
[Unripe cases are] excluded from the number of cases in the backlog but remain in the pending.”
Pending Cases Not Included in "Backlog" is 1,316,740 (Fig 1, 2nd column, page 14)
Total Pending = Backlogged + Unripe = 1,275,795 (page 11) + 1,316,740 (Figure 1, page 14) = 2,592,535 (as of March 2007)
So as per USCIS a total of 600,000 applications were pending until June. We can add another 600,000 for july-aug... total now 1.2 Million
Firstly, it is not possible that pending = backlogged + unripe = 600K because there were 2.5M+ pending cases (as explained above) in March 2007. Thus, 600K should be pending EB cases or total backlogged cases.
Secondly, it is unlikely (although possible) that there are 600K pending EB cases because this means that there are 2M family cases.
Thirdly, it is not possible to have 600K total backlogged (= EB + Family + ...) as explained in previous post. Thus, assume 400K (out of 1.3M+) unripe EB cases also. So EB total becomes 1.6M.
Fourthly, consider cases stuck in labor after Aug 17 2007.

This is from a Jagjit Singh Ghazal for the current situation:
Ronay walon sey kaho unka bhi rona rolay
Jinko majboor yeh haalaat ne ronay na diya
Warna kya baat thi jis baat ne ronay na diya
Translation:
Ask the people who are complaining to also complain for those
Who are in circumtances that do not allow them complain
Otherwise every situation is worth a complain ............

i am not sure why you think kavya wont excel in her life - she already has a great headstart with close to 40grand in winnings! i also dont know why you think she will end up working for a non-ivy league educated manager - & even then why its a bad thing to win a spelling bee..too many gaps or leaps in thoughts/logic?!
If you come across and experience families who make their kids to go through the labor (hell) then and then only you would understand what he is trying to say. The other way of experiencing is to watch the pattern and construct of these spelling bees carefully and apply your own thinking process. Once you do this you would almost agree what logiclife was trying to throw to us.Spelling Bee competition, though make a child well aware about the roots of the words (latin, Greek roots) and provide enough exposure to the kid to understand the English language in its essence, it does not teach a kid how to think, how to become creative and innovative.
Of course nobody can generalize that particular winninng kid will/may/won't/may not do good in life but more or less these are not the competitions through which parents with reasoning or thinking ability would let their children go. Yes there are some advantages but if you try to enlist then list of disadvantages would become lengthier..

Do you mean 30 credits with 3 year degree from India to complete MS?
$15K for 30 credits means $500 for 1 credit?
ISU - Iowa State University; Not from India. Yes, $15K for a total of 30 credits. Aprx 3 credits per subject => total 10 subjects. One of them must be a project, so total of 9 subjects ( with 3 credits each).

Looks like everyone here is on the same boat (getting GC). Why are we wasting time on this when time is of the essence?
If everyone has so much time to reply to posts, I would really recommend that everyone instead give a phone call to one of the senators mentioned in the other thread and do something constructive. If you are done with that, call your friends and ask them to join. Help us find the emails of CEO/HRs of companies that depend on us!
If you still have time, PM me and I'll let you know what else you can do.
Please guys, understand the seriousness of the situation. We need all the help we can right now.

Do you know many of the deals/contracts are done in a golf course ? That's why your account manager has marketed you with higher rates. Rate is not always based on skill sets.

This is what the last part of the text says:
This suspension will last for 30 days beginning on July 2, 2007 and ending on August 1, 2007. During this timeframe, USCIS will determine whether it is able to process these cases within 15 calendar days of receipt. If so, Premium Processing Service will once again be made available for Form I-140 petitions.

I know this is not releated with Immigration. If you dont want to answer, that is fine. Just ignore this.
I have money crunch in US. I have accumulated huge debt in my CC. In past I have sent some money to India, but now when I ask my parents to send it here, they tell it is not possible without losing 30%. This is what they heard from my bank. Any Idea on how to get money from India from my own account to which I have sent from here.

The earlier who mentioned about hard hitting a car on Tree/building to shake the robber and run away is absolutely misleading peoples. There is no reward for bravery or mental sharpness in US for folks who wins a fight with robber or outsmarts them.
How much the Robber can steal from you - Couple of hundred cash, 5 credit cards ( which you can immediately cancel if you are not injured) and some important contacts. Be Nice with him and give him what he wants, tell them that you understand their situation and be sympathetic and polite with them.
I once did that and the robber just took 20 bucks from my wallet, 3 Marlboro Lights cigarettes and returned me the rest of money,credit cards,my SSN card and important contact papers and my rest cigarette pack and told me "you look like a nice guy".
Don't panic seeing robber or don't make the robber panic by shouting or banging your car on the building :) Robbers are just human beings like us with pathetic economic conditions ....
I have to respectfully disagree with the point 4 you have mentioned.
If a thug is attacking you, it is best to just obey what ever he is demanding. Under no circumstances, try to outsmart him. Us trying to outsmart a thug during a robbery will be like the thug trying to outsmart us in computer programming.
If a thug wants the car, just give him the keys and walk away. Insurance will pay us the price of the car - deductible. The same amount we will get, if we take our chance and destroy the car trying to outsmart the guy. And who knows, may be the 'thug' is a cousin of yours trying a prank on you. And in the dark, you could not really see his face.
Robbers charging your credit card is no big deal either. There are federal laws protecting us on incorrect credit card charges. Would you want to risk your life for just $50?

However, for India, China etc. where PD cutoff has to be factored, it is used merely to decide to work or skip a file (when seen in the receive date order). If PD cutoff date is very restricted, they will have to skip a lot of cases, which slows them down.
I don't think this is true. As a CSR, case is assigned to you, not you choose the case. I think it's the same way to IOs. PD current cases will be assigned to IO, not IO looks into paper mountains to find case to adjust.
That's the reason every July they ask for wider PD cutoff dates so that they can consume a lot of visas, as they don't have to skip that many cases.
And about this, it's not abut skip or not either. Visa Office decides the date, CIS does the work. When CIS doesn't output enough work, VO thinks CIS doesn't have enough cases so they move dates forward. Direct result is therefore CP is able to process any cases that is current in hand. When this happens, more approval numbers will show, but that has nothing to do with CIS. CIS basically still process about the same amount of cases as usual.

I don't know if this question has been asked before. Is there a benefit for filing AP by paper rather then electronically. I filed EAD by paper to TCS and got the "Card Production Ordered" email yesterday (in 14 days) for myself and my wife. My friends who efiled just received finger printing appointment notification and no receipts. Is there same benefit with AP? Please calrify.
Main benefit of paper filing is that you do not have to go for repeat Finger printing.

"Those people???". What do you mean by that? These are people who are trying to get permanent residency on their own right, based on the skills they have honed for years. I don't like the condescending tone of your voice. What makes you better?
ok, that really ticks me off. This post is probably going to get me a red splotch, but you should'nt have picked on Franklin:
I think all the work that Franklin did in preparation for the Rally and then at the Rally itself makes it obvious that she is better than most of the IV members (me included) who could not make it to the Rally.
If you dont like the condescending tone of the voice of someone who has worked hard for IVs goals, feel free to stop coming to IV and posting here. Honestly why should someone here care about whether you like the voice or not when the voice speaks the truth?
Look at all the blog posts and pictures of the DC Rally before saying anything against any of the volunteers who worked at the rally. unlike the people who are "trying to get permanent residency on their own right" these dedicated bunch of IV volunteers are trying to get permanent residency soon for all of us. See the photos, the videos of the speeches and then talk.
What Franklin meant by that post (I think) was that IV is much more than a discussion board for reports of who signed whose Fedex package and what was the timestamp of the package. Its very important that we all actively participate in getting IVs goals met. The rally was a big, for-the-first-time event, and still people seem more excited by tracking receipt notices, and the short-sightedness of it all has made many people ticked off. The turnout could easily have been higher (like someone said, see the lines to the doctors office for getting medicals done when the dates were current, and compare that with how many showed up at the rally).

Same situation here guys.
E-filed AP & EAD renewal for me and my wife at TSC on Jul 07th.
Got soft LUD on Jul 16th for both applications right after sending supporting documents.
Got EAD renewal approval on Jul 29th for both of us.
Still waiting AP renewal approval for both us after almost 100 days pending.
Have to attend an important business conference in Argentina on Oct 22, paid for registration fees, flights, hotel, etc. almost Usd 10,000.00 in costs and USCIS National Customer Service tells me this week I have to wait another 65 days !!!!! They said TSC is processing AP applications of May 23rd!!!!! Can you believe that? Had to call again and another representative opened a SR last week. No actions from USCIS so far. Went to an Infopass appointment this week and got same reply "you have to wait your case is still under review and within processing times". Sent a complaint and support documents to USCIS Ombudsman yesterday. Let's see but at this point I don't know what else to do. This is ridiculous, having almost to beg USCIS to do their job right, when you paid high for it and they simply ignore you. As usual treating you as another number in the files. Simply very disrespectful!

There is a story: when seeing a bottle filled half with water, optimistic people would say it's "half full", pessimistic people would say it's "half empty". I think this problem is also just people's perspective. Retrogression is still there, it will not be any better or worse with/without the July event. Some people see that retrogression is still there so they are pessimistic, some people see that at least you get something from this even, so they are optimistic.
I see this prediction every now and then. Why don't you guys get your facts straight. Retrogression will remain the SAME. The pace at which they process GC's is not going to change. It's just applications moved from your home queue to the USCIS queue. Why would that make retrogression worse?? Think before you talk!!
