Important: Please sign the petition - Backlogs in I-485 Processing

If you feel TSC should speed up you EB I-485 processing filed over one year ago, you should spend a few minutes to read the petition and sign it. If you don't say it, no body else can make your voice heard.
 
Excellent effort

The petition looks good. I urge everyone to sign it immediately. Whether it helps or not is besides the point, we need to stand up and try to do something for ourselves.
 
good effort

but sad to see inspite of so many visitors and all this moaning and bitching on the forum very few people are willing to put their own words into action
Also noticed more people from other states and centres than texas which is striking looking at the fact that we more issues than all other sites put together

regards:rolleyes: :mad: :eek: :confused:

974 signatures does not sound too much compared to over 1.1 million I-485 pending cases. Anyone knows how many caeses are EB based among those 1.1 million? How can you make more EB bases I-485 applicants involved?

Even it doesn't sound impressive for me, that's the reason I campaign for our petition. I think there should be atleast 300,000 to 400,000 EB based I-485 applicants, So we should target atleast 10,000 signatures. I know TSC is most affected. We should spread a word about our petition to our friends and also I created separate thread to request everyone here to inform their immigration attorney about our petition. If everyone contact their attorney and posted the message in that thread about the same, then everyone here might follow that.

Dear <Zzzzz>,
What the immigrant community does not understand is that U.S. immigration policies and practices don't make any sense to intelligent, or even half-brained people. Of course, anyone with a smiddling of 'common sense' would be completely lost and confused. The delay you speak about, and good luck on the petition itself, is a result of BCIS and the overall 'homeland' security bureaucracy (including the FBI) being 'frozen' by the prospect of swearing in another 'mistake'; it is difficult for BCIS to differentiate and separate the normal processing of immigrant petitions (I deal almost exclusively with I-140/EB1 & 2, and applications, including I-485s, and the security issues involved, i.e., obtaining quick clearances. Today, every alien is a presumed terrorist or engaged in some kind of fraud/misrepresentation these days, including businesses, and those adjudicating cases at the Service Centers are not trained to 'approve' cases, but to look for and find 'denials'. In a bad economy and with terrorists around every corner, it is open season on immigration and that is what you are feeling and seeing. No one seems to understand that it is in our economic 'national interest' to steal the best and brightest who are attracted to our shores. Only Alan Greenspan has gone there, in relation to saving social security. He's thinking labor force. Even he has not made the connection to inherent brainpower and creation of jobs and future industry. To the Demos, the issues are asylum, humanitarian parole and refugees; to the Republicans, the issues are illegal immigration and deporting people. Don't hold your breadth; presently, there is no one in charge! Paul

Thanks for the update. We EB I485 applicants are almost forgotten by the society and even by ourselves.
