May be you missed the point... We are talking about STARTING the counting of 5 years from this 180 day date. This indirectly means allowing us to apply for citizenship within 5.5 years (5 years plus 180 days) of submitting 485.

Reminder as requested Rajiv, I know you are busy and even cut short your vacation, which is not a good idea though:-)...Anyway I am reminding you of the citizenship issue, as requested by you. Six months after filing 485 should be the start date to count 5 years time needed for...

Even 6 mths is also OK. Rajeev, Even if they have (or will) achieve 6 month milestone on approving 485, it can still be argued that.....then why not consider citizenship after 6 months of filing 485. That is fair to all those who were stuck for years in those days when INS was inefficient...

We have won already I agree with others that we have already won this case by forcing CIS to bring-in reforms sooner than planned (if)....Without this lawsuit, they would be sleeping over all these problems even today.. Can we start another case or something about citizenship...e.e. instead...

Approval before hearing I think they want to clear as many cases as possible before they go for the hearing and show the statistics to the judge to win their argument. For example in last two weeks, the 485 date in Texas moved by two months. My case of Feb end 2002 was approved this week...

Re: They did not open dialog I am not an expert, but if visual statistics is presented to the Judge showing exponential increase in pending cases over last three years (graphs etc) and actual additional money spent by all applicants together (renewal of EAD, FP, etc), he may get a better...

one year for Aug 2001 cases These dates show that for entire 2003 (Jan to Dec), they could not finish just Aug 2001 cases. One month of cases in one year. With that speed, they would have taken 20 years to clear backlog. This is a strong proof of wrong priorities and manpower being used for...

Re: Lawsuit Update - Rajiv and Plaintiffs Need More Signatures For Class Action I suggest putting this request on home page of immigration.com. As lot of people do not track this thread or don't have time, other than checking headlines, this request with minimum details should be put on...

I am not a core team member, but let me know how/what I can do to help. The agenda seems to be something which everyone should be interested in. Only if we could make our voice heard at the right places...

Re: OK May be discussed already; If they agree to our proposal, what will be the effective date of "Interim" GC. It should be either 180 days from original filing date of 485, even if that means back dated approval. OR It should be the day Govt. agrees to our proposal. There should...

The 180 day time for conditional GC is counted from the date the 485 was filed. So, for all those who filed 485 1,2 or 3 years ago should get benefit of back dated approval to help count time for Citizenship from 180 days past 485 filing and not from the date of this conditional approval.

Don't ask for the moon Assuming USCIS comes to negotiate :-), there is a big list given by all of us, but may be these two will be easier for them to accept; 1. Release long pending AC-21 final guidelines with following - Allow job change with no restrictions (NO similar job blah blah)...

Re: Re: New members need direction Is anyone else interested in working together on action item check list (press release, tv, other) so that people can chose one action for them and that gets assigned to them. Rajiv wanted to explain "troubles and triumphs" of getting organized. Anyone...

New members need direction Rajiv and other key members; We need to do two things to get proper support from people; 1. Have a proper checklist of who is doing what with clear assigned responsibility. This will make sure it gets done, instead of everone thinking that the other person is...
