I485 FAQ
Just want to air my views(wish list) , since I am one of the moderators actively cleaning up the I485 FAQ forum and promoting some of the threads to this sub forum.
1. It should become read only for all the general members except Moderators
2. Moderators should compile information / Q&As about a particular topic and can post them in a separate thread. If there is a dispute or addendeum other moderators want to add, they can do it in the same thread. General members can either notify the moderators of the problem or can post a thread in one of the other related forums about the issue.
3. Moderators can also promote/copy a thread started by somebody else into FAQ, if the moderators feel that the thread has some useful information that will benefit everybody. I have promoted most of the threads in FAQ from other peer forums.
4. I think we ought to allow 2 different FAQs created by two different persons about the same topic... As long as it is not conflicting with each other (For example EAD FAQ for family based I485 vs General EAD FAQ Vs interimEAD FAQ etc.)
5. Is there a way Not to apply the "show only posts in past 10 days" like rule to this sub forum, so that all the threads are always visible, irrrespective of when it was last accessed. If a thread becomes irrelevant after a year, we can retire it or delete it or modify it suitably.
6. What about deep links in immigration.gov (like to a specific guideline or a form link etc.)? Can they live in FAQ?
Although a very few people still ask the same questions that are already answered in FAQ, it has come down. It becomes a bore after a while dish out the same answers again and again
